can’t open the link here what is the tactic and what is said please?
Scanners were banned in Europe due to health concerns.
A friend of mine wears a hairpiece, and he says they have yet to stop or ask him about it when he goes through that scanner.
I’m trying to visualize body structure and the stuff a thick old lady could sneak through.
Thanks for posting.
TSA/DHS: I believe the terrorists won.
It is to present security theatre as a means of providing government jobs to favored groups and government contracts to well-connected donors.
Once you understand that, everything they do makes perfect sense.
“can the gummint be this stupid?” he asks....
Uh, yup...
This may or may not be true. I’ve seen two youtube hoaxes like this.
Hoax number one: Your cell phone (or other device) can be used to unlock your car if you lose your keys.
Basically, there is a person off camera with the pushbutton key fob. When the person on camera does whatever he does with the device he’s claiming can unlock the doors, the guy off camera hits the unlock button and, presto, the doors unlock. It depends on you trusting them to be honest.
Hoax number two: You can reset the “computer” on an epson printing cartridge to get the rest of the ink that is “hidden”. They show you a printer cartridge that shows almost empty on the digital readout. They then remove the cartridge and show you a little hole in the side. They use a paperclip and shove it in the hole to “reset” the computer. Then they re-install the cartridge and, presto, it shows as full.
Problem is, that little hole is just a hole in the shape of the plastic. It doesn’t even go all the way through. It is not a reset button at all (I dissassembled a cartridge myself to prove it). What thed did was simply remove the almost empty cartridge, Push a paperclip into the “hole” in the pattern of the plastic case, then insert a new cartridge in the printer.
Both of these videos depend on you simply trusting the person presenting the video to be sincere. After all, why would they just make it up. ;-)
I don’t buy this one either, based on what I saw in the video. Not enough evidence.
So I guess now the TSA well say the solution to this problem is to scan people twice. Once the old way then turn 90 degrees.
I have not flown since the introduction of the XRay/MMW scanners. I will drive or just not go if I don’t have to.
My last trip I was pulled aside as I had set off the metal detector. They tried the hand held version to pinpoint the item. They never found it, and just decided it was a security tag left on my clothes and let me thru.
