Surgically Implanted Improvised Explosive Devices
Surgically Implanted Improvised Explosive Devices, also called SIIEDs or Body Cavity Bombs, are improvised explosive devices that are surgically implanted. (Wikipedia) I guess it goes under blackhat biohacking, since its purpose is illegal.
Little is known about this form of bomb making, outside the intelligence community. The most popular maker of these bombs is Ibrahim Hassan Tali al-Asiri, the primary bomb maker of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. (Office of the Spokesman)
He's managed doctors and trained others to surgically implant explosives. His most notorious volunteer was his brother, Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri. (Klaidman) In August 2009, Abdullah attempted to assassinate Prince Mohammed bin Nayef under the guise of reforming from terrorism and helping others do the same. Abdullah's body absorbed most of the blast and Prince Mohammed, the head of Saudi intelligence survived with minor injuries. (Klaidman) Since that near brush with death, Prince Mohammed increased his counter-terrorism efforts and procured a 15-20 document detailing surgical procedures for implanted explosives with help with UK and US intelligence. (Klaidman) This document details animal experiments for SIIEDs and plans to surgically implant explosives into females to make it appear as if they were pregnant. (Klaidman)
There are other articles on this. I just referenced Newsweek, because the author shared significant information already.
It's pretty wild that people with such sparse resources are designing sophisticated devices and methods to implant them. Almost motivates me to go harder and biohack better.
Why is this important? Well, it involves implants. It probably goes under blackhat biohacking.
What are its threats to national security? Well, it's hard to detect implants with the naked eye. I don't know if airport scanners are X-rays or not. If so, I would assume they can pick this up. Articles on this suggest otherwise.
Why am I interested? I served as a US soldier in Afghanistan for 2 years. My occupations were personnel and personal security. Personal security is always on my mind. In fact, I was drawn to biohacking by the desire to design implant(s) that could help me sense my blind spot(s). Namely, whatever happens to be behind me.

Guess in case of implanting something that'll kill you a few days/weeks later you don't have to worry about things like long term health effects. Which means you can basically just take whatever you want, seal it in a HDPE plastic bag and you'r good to go. Most commodity plastics will work. Even the ones used for 3d-printing. It's not like any biocompatibility issues will kill you in that case anyway.
Chances of detecting such devices... well.. maybe if you xray someone. But other than that, nope.
I don't feel like this talk belongs here anyway. This forum is about improving the human lifeform by the means of technology. And killing humans isn't really much of an improvement.
For a forum about biohacking, @ThomasEgi, I did not expect anybody to say anything is impossible. The doctors who implanted Abdullah Hassab al-Asiri certainly considered aftercare; he waited 24 hours to meet Prince Mohammed bin Nayef before going ham. Actually, the hardest part about the implanted explosives is detonation; you can't "just take whatever you want". 3D printing will lend itself to terrorism, if it hasn't already. Yes, detection is a doozy. I prefer George W. Bush's preemptive policy. This talk certainly belongs here, because it is biohacking. Whether whitehat, greyhat, or blackhat, information is information. Once you start censoring it, then you risk becoming a gestapo or worse blinding yourself to the truth that will exist despite yourself. Oh, really? I read that this forum is "a place to talk about grinder issues, ask questions, and get answsers." (Biohack.me) This is a grinder issue; it's happening out there and it proves to me that this exists despite myself. I've just now found my existential voice, my militant whitehat biohacking voice; please don't shoot me down!

Well, there is no grind, there is no project. I just assumed that my fellow forum members would appreciate me bringing up this particular news, but I was sorely mistaken.
Thank you for your grace. Okay, this is not a political board. With that said, even the act of grinding makes a political statement. The point of this post was to point out that there are bad guys grinding out there. Thought it'd be relevant to "everything else". I wasn't tryna scare nobody; I have experiences etched in my brain that keep me looking out for danger. I'm a proud U.S. Army veteran. I can tell nobody here's seen combat...
Understood. Correct me again if I get out of line.
