Can bags of pig fat deter suicide bombers? February 12 2004 at 10:18AM Jerusalem - Israeli police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide attacks, the Maariv daily reported on Thursday. Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval on the grounds that it could be a life-saving measure even though pigs are also considered impure by Jews. Authorities believe that the move could discourage Palestinians from carrying out attacks as pieces of their exploded body could come into contact with the pig fat, prejudicing their chances of entering into paradise. The paper said that the rabbinical dispensation could mean that security forces also hang bags of lard in shopping malls and schools. Public buses have been a favourite target for Palestinian suicide bombers since the start of the intifada in September 2000. -----If this is Israel's response, why aren't they developing precision guided pig missile technology and firing them off at Syria, Jordan, Iran, Egypt (insert Python/Holy Grail Image Here). Or why aren't pigs being trained to man guard/crossing points. Or why isn't that stupid wall being built being made out of Pig Fat?
