I slipped a loaded clip through TSA, by accident. If objects are at the right angle, the xray machine does not reveal contents. Maybe everything should be xrayed twice from two different angles.

I agree. For instance, an x-ray image of the profile of a butcher knife would be easier to recognize than if that same knife was x-rayed standing on its edge in a bag full of other stuff.

The x-ray machines they have in most of the baggage areas in major airports are CAT Scan machines capable of providing a 3-D image of the bag that can be rotated in space on the screen and viewed from any angle.

Maybe these machines should be installed in the checkpoints at our Nation's busier, international airports at least.
