Security Theater Jackpot!

[cthulu2016]

I was watching some security camera expose of an airport baggage handler who had taken a zillion guns, cameras, pieces of jewelry, etc. from checked luggage.

The anchor asked the reporter how the guy knew which bags had the good swag, and whether we should use crummy-looking inexpensive luggage to avoid being targeted.

Reporter pointed out that it isn't that easy to disguise your valuables because they x-ray all the bags.

D'oh! I guess the x-ray machine has become like the Home Shopping Network.

1. Again, color me completely unsurprised.

A few years ago, there was a period where no personal electronics could be taken on-board flights that went through certain UK/EU airspace. Of the hundred or so of my co-workers who were affected by that absolutely every single laptop was stolen. Every. Single. One.
