Those sniffers don't detect squat they are "probable cause" generators........if the rental wannabe doesn't like the look of ya they trip it........then detail search based on that.

I was at Sandia Labs when those were first being pushed on our EOD teams as explosive sniffers. They didn't work then, later or even years later well enough to depend on.

If it wasn't a certified explosive detector dog's snoot that picked up the scent then it is a PC generator....nothing more.

Hope yer doing well 17.......ain't seen ya around for awhile. Stay Safe !

Some months ago I was at Denver airport.
I had carefully removed all metallic objects from my person in order to avoid setting off the metal detector.

The screener waves his magic wand over and around me, down my legs and 'BEEP'.

The eyelets on my shoes set it off.( there may be a 'beep' button on the wand)
Of course I now have to go over and remove my shoes.

He wanted my shoes off, one way or the other.

IMHO.. this security hoax is killing the airline industry. Searching baby diapers, old women, etc.

I can fly free but if I can drive where I want to go in a day, that's what I do.
