Are they engaging in some semantic games here that Franky's hoverboard is more a vehicle than a jetpack is? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/flying-frenchman-succeeds-bid-cross-english-channel-jet-powered-hoverboard-n1039041

Survive a shooting because the bullet lodged in your phone, then die when the battery immolates you.

It's a great indication of why TSA is totally useless. They'll confiscate your water bottle, but not the battery to your laptop that could easily pop a hole in the side of the airplane.

That's not reacting with air, the knife is shorting it out internally and it's entering thermal runaway, damaging more cells and dumping it's whole charge in a few seconds, making a shitton of heat and oxygen. Most things are combustible with enough heat and oxygen, so it bursts into fire.

There's a guy at my work working on some equipment that has to copy l comply with mine safety (the serious international regulations, not the MSHA cowboy comedy hour). He's been deliberately bypassing the safety circuitry and shorting the batteries to destructively test them, and they only smoke and fizzle. I was very disappointed when I helped him run a test.

TSA is security theater and a chance for people to get felt up by strangers on a routine basis. I personally had never experienced my genitals being patted down until they started using the backscatter machines.

I've twice been popped for a random check that meant having some rear end in a top hat drag his knuckles across my dick. They say they're checking pockets but it's still the most humiliating bullshit I have been through.

TSA and US Secret Service were at Daytona Sunday for a nice one-two punch of incompetence. As you might imagine getting 250,0000 drunk people through the gates with that bullshit going on was hilarious.

Pretty sure the TSA rules are set by a bunch of Boomers who are terrified their own shadow, because it's black. They based their rulings on memes or fw;fw;fw style stories about liquid explosives. This looks awesome and fun until someone wacks their foot on one of the sandbags holding it down and their leg is now at a completely wrong angle.

Seize the initiative; take a purple pill before going to the airport, establish dominance by making and holding eye contact with who ever is manning the backscatter machine, hold a slight pelvic thrust position while being patted down, again maintaining eye contact. It's a zero sum game, if they're losing you must be winning

They say they're checking pockets but it's still the most humiliating bullshit I have been through. If it was following the backscatter, it wasn't random. Prior to 2016, the backscatter scanners produced a near perfect image of your naked body that some agent would look at. Because people obviously were pissed when that became public knowledge, TSA switched to their current system. Now the scanner has expected scans of men and women's bodies. Instead of a person looking at you naked, now there is just a small screen that shows a bathroom door figure with a box around the anomaly. It anticipates nothing in your pockets, but if your dick is hanging down instead of being tucked up, for example, it marks it as an object in your pocket. Unless you can pull something out of your pocket, they must pat you down. I've went to supervisors and was told I either consent to the patdown or I don't fly. I know there are trans goons that have ran into the same problem. I agree that it is humiliating every time. The most recent time the agent doing the patdown spit out the minute long preamble about it in seconds because he has to do this poo poo so often.
