Can't wait till someone tries to get explosives on the plane weaved into clothes.

According to the BBC report on this incident, we're there already...

Techchrunch seems to think it was 'electronics' related, but the BBC is reporting that he had explosives sewn into the elastic band of his underwear.

So if anything, TSA are likely to ban clothes on planes.

"Moulded around his body parts" (source: BBC One News at Ten). Start your sausage-sizzle jokes now, dudes.

Mythbusters did an episode where they made exploding pants didn't they?
