I always wondered how airport X-ray machine operators stayed focused on what's going through. This seems like a simple yet effective solution.
So 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..
No, 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.
Before 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.
wouldnt a metal cutout of a dagger be a dagger?
Maybe he's making negative-space cut-outs to fuck with TSA.
I was thinking about just the contour of the blade with a solid handle but, still, it could be used as a very bad dagger. Netcraft made a good point.
