120. Smarter than this bullshit

That's why they conduct suicide bombings with... you know bombs, and packs of screws, nails, and ball bearings. Say what you like about them, but they know their own techniques and tools, right? Large amounts of concussive force and lots of shrapnel.

What we're talking about here amounts to extra-flammable clothing. It's so less-than-dangerous that you can't even call the delivery system "suicide bombing," unless the guy's wearing a parka filled with the stuff (and if you see a guy wearing a parka in Yemen, you should be suspicious anyway.) Let's not even bother getting into the problems if the guy weari8ng the stuff ever gets a little damp - the chemicals that create cloth like this tend to be extremely acidic. Essentially, this "technology" would be less dangerous AND more obvious than a traditional bomb belt

Basically the idea is so dumb that not even the Bond franchise would use it (Mission: Impossible maybe.) My money is on this being a figment of some alphabet agency's imagination being used as a cover for something else in Yemen.
