Obviously none of this is going to stop someone with a pair of bolt cutters but pretty nifty if you want to go take a dump at the airport without dragging the bag in with you

No because this still counts as unattended baggage and will get you a fun meeting with airport security.

It's a pretentious as hell way of labeling it, but egg replacers for baking can be really useful when allergies are involved, though they're usually marketed towards vegans. When I need them, I usually use either banana or apple sauce, when the egg is used as a binder, or Bob's Red Mill or Ener-G's products when it's used for leavening. Like mentioned above, flaxseed works well too.

65g of human blood per egg also works as a substitute.

I'm pretty sure airport security is the one place where it is fully equal opportunity in who they hassle. Source: I used to travel a lot and had my white coworkers get randomly picked for hand scrubbing and bag checks. In conclusion:

AFAIK the metal detectors that you walk through at the airport have two different alerts; One for detecting metal and one for "random check", so I think there is an outside system.

Doesn't stop the agents from randomly selecting extra people though.

They only blow them up if they know about them.

Other travellers are more likely to report a brown kid leaving a bag when he goes to the restroom than they are to report a white man for doing the same.

I'm lucky in that I'm both white and also have a gormless dipshit face, so airport security is usually just me biffing my poo poo in a box and having them tell me to get going. The only time I had trouble at the border was when I was in the scanner and leaned out to look at a golden retriever and even then they just frisked my leg and that was it

One of the saddest days at work, a middle aged white woman came up to me to 'warn me' about this family of girls wearing burquas. They were buying the Star Wars movies and a BBQ grill, but apparently being brown and wearing muslim garments is SCARY IN TARGET. The lady acted like she did me some big, huge favor telling me that some brown people shop at target but it's those skeery mooslims or what the gently caress ever she wanted to report. I just shrugged, said 'ok', and went on about my day.

And I hope the family had lots of fun with grilling and movie night.

That almost can't be their target as that group is probably already buying all their shampoo in bar form if they're really worried about the environment. Same goes for just about every other cleaning substance that machine can make when I think about it. There's powders for most soaps, cleansers, bleaches & detergents, and in the few cases that's missing, it's probably because the main solvent isn't water, so this device can't help that problem.

Yeah, their target market is people who want to feel good about doing their part for the environment but don't want actually put any thought or effort into it. An expensive gadget shows commitment (at least until it inevitably joins the expensive gadget graveyard at the back of the cupboard.)

much revenue stream, very subscription

there's a team of six people for a slow blender which turns concentrated soap into less-concentrated soap

they are charging $100 for a device that serves no purpose other than stirring these specific bottles

at least they are still under $100k?

I think you're missing the most important part which is squeezing the soap from the bag into the bottle. This must be the most important part because it's what most of the device is dedicated to. Love that cold-pressed soap taste.
