Why surgically? As already stated here, the rectum would be an ideal place to hide the explosives. The amount you could easily stash there would blow up a plane, no question about that, even if using low-grade explosives.
One would not even need a detonator, many explosives go off by hitting them hard. They would only need to go to the toilet, rip it out, and take something hard and hit the bomb to make it go kaboom.
There just is no way of preventing "terrorists" from taking explosives onboard.

Yeah because surgery is something so simple, even a unqualified doctor in the middle of a cave could do it. I know Pacemaker patients who risk having collapsed lungs from even a simple routine op, and the device itself is no larger than a bottle cap (although weighs a bit more obviously.) Yet were to believe that explosives can be planted inside someones body, patched up, and they can be on their merry way across half the world to blow up a target. Theyd be dead before they'd even leave the Cave.

No surprise and they obviously watched that episode from "Spooks"(a show about MI5) and got the idea from the female bomber on there that was tasked to kill a prince and world leaders.
They are cowards instead of fighting conventionally they commit beheadings,suicide bombings and IED strikes.. although i do have sympathy for the fact their lands have been taken by America and NATO(if that happened to Britain i would commit guerilla actions against the occupier).
But their actions only create more hate in the world, if they could sit around a table and talk about it diplomatically and if Israel actually become open minded instead of killing innocent people we may actually get progress in the Middle east.
It's going to be a long road and the 2010's will create more wars and potentiallya world war between China,Russia,USA,Israel,Iran,Lebanon,Syria,N Korea,Yemen and NATO
biggest threat is China+Russia teaming up against the west..
China is the new USA and are currently fighting a proxy war with AFRICOM.
They shwoed their naval might last year and it is bigger than the US Navy and with 11 aircraft carriers on the way and a reform of the air force, China has been to quiet in recent years... the stage is set..
who will make the first move?

I was reading, just thinking, has anyone actually ever seen a terrorist? And I don't mean the stereotype either. It's like they are invisible beings that just come out of nowhere and blow things up. Kind of like cops hiding to pull you over. I mean, we see pictures and video of the war. But if someone invaded my country and started killing people, I imagine that I would be on their tv sets labeled as a terrorist too.
Basically, I'm just questioning the reality of the "terrorists" and even their "threat". Because, we don't see them, they're just there...because the government says they are. Besides that, it's common knowledge that the CIA created Al Qaeda, is the CIA no a part of our government? It all seems real fishy to me.
As far as putting bombs inside your body tho, I could see that happening. Like putting drugs up your butt trying to smuggle them somewhere. Just shove a bomb up there with a timer on it.

Terrorists 'plan attack on Britain with bombs INSIDE their bodies' to foil new airport scanners

Britain is facing a new Al Qaeda terror threat from suicide ‘body bombers’ with explosives surgically inserted inside them.
Until now, terrorists have attacked airlines, underground trains and buses by secreting bombs in bags, shoes or underwear to avoid detection.
But an operation by MI5 has uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting ‘surgical bombs’ inside people for the first time.

I'm a bit skeptical of the explosive force you'd get detonating a bomb from inside your torso. The human body is meat and water, I would think a large portion of the explosive potential would be dissipated in forcing all that away. If anything, you'd make yourself into pipe bomb, spraying bone shrapnel everywhere, but I kind of doubt you could rip a hole in a plane.
