Passengers are scanned by the new explosive trace portal (ETP), nicknamed the puffer, at Salt Lake City International Airport on Friday. (Danny Chan La/The Salt Lake Tribune)
Most don't mind going through the new type of detector, but the puffer device can also lead to a bad hair day, as this passenger discovered. (Danny Chan La/The Salt Lake Tribune)

Wouldn't it be easier to just nuke all the Islamofascists off the face of the earth?

This device was in use at the airport in Rochester, NY over a year ago. I must have gone through the thing about 7 or 8 times. There were three short bursts of compressed air, and the wait time was definitely not 17 seconds. More like 4 or 5. I haven't seen the thing being used there for over 6 months. Anyone else have similar experiences?

They're going to nickname them 'Monicas'?

Now if they added a trap door that sent the occupant to the remote parking lot, they might have something.

Monica Lewinsky is walking down the beach and finds a lamp. She rubs the lamp and out pops a genie. The genie says "I know who you are, you are Monica Lewinsky and you have been very bad! You cannot have three wishes, only one!"
Monica thinks about this. She thinks that she could lose a few pounds so she looks at the genie and say "my wish is that I could get rid of these love handles!"
The genie looks at Monica and says "your wish is my command!" And poof! Monica's ears disappear!

Pittsburgh Airport has these -- in kind of a weird, new secondary security check-through right off of Ticketing.

Nuclear power plants have had these things for years. If you timed a fart just right, it would go off on the guy behind you.

I wonder what would happen if one went directly from the shooting range to the airport without washing up.

En route to Tel Aviv, Israel, Bryant Furness said U.S. airports need to follow the lead of international airports abroad where security is even more stringent. Following the lead of Tel Aviv is something I could go for, but to assume the average overseas airport is that competent in security would be a big mistake.

I already went through that silly machine in Jacksonville, FL a few weeks ago. This intrusion is on top of stripping down to a G string and having the thugs unload all your carry on to rifle through it.

I wonder what would happen if one went directly from the shooting range to the airport without washing up.I'm going to have that experience tomorrow morning. I haven't run my shoes through the washer since going to the range and reloading hundreds of rounds last week. There should be traces of burned W231, W296, W748 and whatever the factory used for 17M2 and some Federal Win 30-30 rounds.
