I'll bet that story is going to aid in the "lockdown" of the internet as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

They can't find a detonator in an x-ray screening? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

X-ray screening machine is not same x-ray you get in hospital. It uses back-scattering technology where it registers at reflected x-ray as opposed to see through register on other side. X-rays reflect off the skin so nothing inside is visible. I'd hate to be frequent flier if I had to get regular true x-ray.

They don't X-ray people, that's a metal detector you pass thru. The device was non-metallic or very little metal.

I'm not sure if a X-ray could tell the difference between a big turd or a <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> bomb. I'm sure someone is researching that right now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Bottom line you need to get them way before the gate with other forms of intel. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
