It was a loaded diaper, but not like you would think.
Security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper Wednesday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.
Officers pulled the otherwise clean diaper from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.
Have you ever looked at their screen? This isn’t a 1970’s scan, the computer automatically flags anomalies and makes a box around them.
Speaking from experience they seemed to actually catch more back then regardless.
I miss the days of a magnetometer and keeping my shoes on.
That’s good to hear.
No, I can’t really get a look at them. They’re positioned to hide the screen an my airport. Well and airport security is a pain, so I’m trying to get through as quickly as possible.
When I went to the airport last time they had one of those full body scan things we have to wave your arms in the air. I don’t understand why I wasn’t allowed to look at the picture, it’s a picture of me. I want to see it.
It’s night and day flying out of the US to somewhere in Europe. You go through all the rigmarole of TSA on the US side. Then when you land on the other side of the Atlantic they go “you look all right” and leave you alone.
