Big Dick Cheney posted:FEMA tells us that a car can be swept away with as little as 6 inches of water. I imagine its lower for a 2 wheeled vehicle Depending on the speed of the water, I'd bet you could lose a 2-wheeled vehicle in as little as 2 inches of water. (Basing this on absolutely no science, but a few decades of riding motorcycles, dirt bikes, scooters and anything else with 2 wheels, and losing control plenty of times due to loss of traction because of water)

KodiakRS posted:When deployed properly the CAPS system has a fairly low injury rate, something like <%5 per use. It still causes significant damage to the airplane but depending on the situation it's the least lovely option. That's when it's deployed properly. When deployed improperly: Wouldn't it be safer to just lower the ground so the plane didn't crash?

I believe most cargo scanners either use neutron activation or gamma rays. either way those two are having a real bad time e: I reverse-searched that specific image and it's from a gamma ray scanner

Nenonen posted:Double emphasis on it being a passive device so they should be a-okay? Or is the CBP press release perhaps misleading? X-rays are a passive, none-intrusive method of checking if you have a broken bone, because they don't involve a doctor taking a scalpel to you and wrenching your chest cavity apart. You're still being irradiated. Now, the Gamma radiation they took could be pretty much harmless, but there's no way to get an image like that without everything getting dosed.

Nenonen posted:Double emphasis on it being a passive device so they should be a-okay? Or is the CBP press release perhaps misleading? A passive gamma ray scanner (by most definitions) would be a device that picks up gamma rays and records their presence/direction/energy/etc but does not create them itself. Something like a geiger counter. Customs agents may well use passive gamma devices to try and detect nuclear materials, but there isn't remotely enough gamma radiation just bouncing around outdoors to get an image like that. To get that resolution there has to be an emitter somewhere, and that makes it an active device. I think calling it "passive" in this case is a typographical error at best and more likely a deliberate attempt at downplaying the radiation at play.

Something like a geiger counter. It’s passive compared to the other methods that CBP uses to examine cargo. Like three foot long steel rods shoved through the cargo at six inch intervals.

Can't they just put people into lead-lined boxes? Seems like it would work fairly well as a disguise. Not comfortable but hey you're already crossing the border illegally.

Here's a detailed report from the NRC health physics nerds going exactly into the question of stowaway dosage from this very system. TLDR: worst case, if you actually walked along the inside of the truck to keep yourself directly in the beam the dose from one scan would be ~30 mrem, equivalent to two or three chest xrays. Dose would be a small fraction of that if were standing still. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0513/ML051360202.pdf

If you went at the right speed and pose you could really freak out the guy with the monitor though I wondered if running the opposite way to the scanner (which moves about a foot a second) would make you too faint to show up, like a ghost, but the paper tested that theory too:
