- Cyph0n 10y agoI always wondered how airport X-ray machine operators stayed focused on what's going through. This seems like a simple yet effective solution.
- devopsproject 10y agoIt's not working. They missed 67 out of 70: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/politics/tsa-failed-undercover-airport-screening-tests/ http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/politics/tsa-failed-undercover...
- nayuki 10y agoIn the end it's all "security theater", huh.
- devopsproject 10y agoYes but don't follow the money, it is depressing.
- brianwawok 10y agoSo if a fake bomb picture comes through, do they go tackle the guy who's bag was next in line? I never got how that worked..
- dx034 10y agoNo, they always press a button if they want to screen an item again. If it was just a test image, it will disappear. If it wasn't, they'll be notified and it will either be screened again or the employee at the scanner informs his colleagues.
- rbanffy 10y agoBefore 2001, I toyed with the idea of making metal cutouts that looked like cartoon versions of bombs or weapons (ball bomb, dagger). I guess I'll never be able to do that.
