Once you get the explosive inside the mule, what's the method to get it out to join the detonator? Castor oil? 3 oz of castor oil?

I'm betting anything this crossed the minds of the terrorists a decade or more ago. If it hasn't been used, it is because it poses problems they can't solve.
Did you read what I've been posting? Did you read what the other (non-TSA) people have been saying?
The bomb could be assembled before it is introduced to the carrier's body. The bomb would detonate while still inside of the carrier.
