My first thought when I heard Al Qaeda has a new "more sophisticated" underwear bomb: What,they shop Victoria's Secret, now? Then I realized a Victoria's Secret bra and panties set would hold hardly enough explosives to light a cigarette. Forget bringing down an airliner.
So maybe it was Fruit of the Loom? A little better, but look at those guys in the ads - but let's face it, that giant apple and all those grapes are not going to make it through airport security ("No food, sir") much less fit their hats in the overhead compartment. And the major issue would be what to do with all the fruit salad afterwards.
Maybe a union suit. (Young people: one-piece underwear, usually red, back door flap)A little better, but if you have ever worn one (yes, I have. long story for another post) you know union suits are in no way considered "sophisticated." Complicated, yes; sophisticated, no.
That leaves, what? Boxers or briefs, I suppose. Perhaps it was this long-standing conundrum that allowed National Security ample time ferret out the plot.
