What’s wrong with that video? It looks really off.

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.

On one hand, security theater might have a net positive value for that reason: people who would be too scared to fly unless they're convinced by the theater that there's nothing to worry about will drive instead, and since driving is far more dangerous than flying you will get additional traffic deaths.

On the other hand, security theater might have a net negative value for a similar reason: people who don't want to deal with it will drive rather than fly and you will get additional traffic deaths.

In either case we should be educating people that the TSA is a collective of idiots who wouldn't be able to work the fryer at Burger King without giving themselves third-degree genital burns. and that the entire agency should be dropped into a very dee pit.

You think TSA agents are dumb, that somehow doesn't compare to the stupidity of American passengers and what they attempt to bring onboard a commercial airplane.

Pre 9/11, a family friend took a three foot long corn snake tied in a pillowcase on the plane. He put it through the x-ray machine and everything. Didn't have any trouble.

Jesus Christ I've never taken a poo poo that long, let alone thought to carry it around with me in a pillowcase.

Wait, what's a corn snake?

If I took a three foot poo poo you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be bringing it around with me and showing it to people.

I just looked at this poo poo as being like the latest variation of the same kind of snake oil as the idiotic magnet bracelets, and all the copper crap that followed more recently. Awesome that now the snake oil is also venomous this time around.

²¹⁰Po is 250,000 times more toxic than hydrogen cyanide by weight; it is also thought that one gram of ²¹⁰Po is enough to kill 50 million people and sicken another 50 million.

Eppley Field Airport in Omaha, Nebraska (OMA), November 18-21, 2017

During this event, the FSII reservoir on the refueling truck had been serviced with DEF, in lieu of FSII. Seven civilian aircraft, plus additional military aircraft, had jet fuel containing DEF directly injected into their fuel tanks, which yielded three civilian and two military aircraft emergency landings. An additional six aircraft were serviced with equipment that had been exposed to DEF. SAIB HQ-18-08R1 was issued on December 26, 2017 in response to this event.

Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport in Miami, Florida (OPF), August 12-16, 2018

During this event, DEF was mixed into the refueling truck FSII reservoir during an off-truck leak repair. Five aircraft had jet fuel containing DEF directly injected into their fuel tanks, which yielded two aircraft emergency landings. An additional nine aircraft were refueled with equipment that had been exposed to DEF. In response to this event, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued SAIB HQ-18-28 on September 13, 2018, Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO) 18015 on November 13, 2018, and the Office of Airports (ARP) Awareness & Guidance Letter was issued on October 29, 2018. Additionally, as a result of this event, the Industry Working Group was initiated and Airlines for America (A4A)/National Air Transportation Association (NATA) Bulletin 2018.4 was issued in December 2018.

Punta Gorda Airport in Punta Gorda, Florida (PGD), May 9, 2019

During this event, DEF was accidentally mixed into a 5-gallon FSII transfer container by the FBO lineman. Three aircraft were serviced from the “front meter,” which is where the FSII injection line is. There were two in-flight incidents: one Citation 550 experienced an engine flameout at 35,000 feet, descended, experienced the second engine flameout at 8,000 feet on approach to Savannah International Airport (SAV), and landed with no injuries or damage; a second Citation 550 experienced an engine flameout at 36,000 feet, descended, and landed with one engine operative at Louisville International Airport (SDF) with no injuries or damage. Additionally, the third aircraft (an Eclipse 500) had DEF directly injected, but, it was not known until the aircraft had landed at its final destination. Post-flight inspection revealed that this aircraft’s fuel system was contaminated with DEF and determined to be un-airworthy. Subsequent discussions with airport personnel at Punta Gorda showed that before this incident, they, including the FBO lineman, were aware of the DEF threat and had taken steps (implemented procedures and taken training) to preclude adding DEF into FSII tanks. The accidental mixing involved containers that looked similar. SAIB HQ-18-08R2 was issued on June 12, 2019, in response to this event.

quote:

Carr noted that although the airport’s insurance company, Starr Adjustment Services, acknowledged in meetings that the two aircraft won’t fly again—once DEF enters an aircraft’s fuel system “there’s no telling when it might come loose down the road”—he was disappointed with settlement offers that he believed were based on inadequate appraisals. The proposed settlements did not fully consider the special configurations of air-ambulance aircraft, nor did they take into account an air ambulance’s large access door modification that he estimated affects an aircraft’s value by 30 or 40 percent.

I'm pretty sure he was using the geiger counter wrong. The meter doesn't know you're measuring a bracelet, it calculates dose rate assuming a uniform radiation field across the whole body.
