It's the newest fad in homicide bombing: stick a bomb up your butt and bypass security.
After taking a page from drug smugglers, it was carried out for the first time in an attack against Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, head of Saudi Arabia's counter terrorism operations. Abdullah Asieri, one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted men, avoided detection by two sets of airport security including metal detectors and palace security. He spent 30 hours in the close company of the prince's own secret service agents - all without anyone suspecting a thing.
The attack failed, only slightly injuring the prince. But as a vector of attack, it worked beautifully. It got past all of the security. There is nothing we have right now that can detect this kind of attack.
After Reid tried the shoe bombing and we all had to take off our shoes before boarding airplanes, you can guess what's coming now.
