   According to a poster on another social network platorm, Israel   
   has started (or at one time had had a plan to, or did) put bags of   
   pig blood on transit buses, the effect being that suicide bombings   
   by Islamist terrorists immediately ceased.   
      
   My bullshit alarm rang right away, of course, and googling[tm]   
   around I found nothing other than a Snopseian debunking of a similar   
   claim involving lard.   
      
   Anyone ever heard of this one before?   
      
   (N.B. not looking for a debunking; I already disbelieve it, just   
   for discussion. But a clear debunking would also be welcome for an   
   appropriate response over there on the other social network platform)
