      My sister's DARE textbook included instructions on how to grow pot, or disguise shrooms and extacy. It was actually supposed to be a police training manual on what to look for / suspect just given straight to highschoolers without any significant alteration (I assume they just made it easier to read)

      @Dnznxbebwushdn 4 года назад +24

      In reality it probably wouldn't, the idea behind modern flight security isn't "detect bombs before they get on the flight" it's "jam up the sheer amount of things that really don't do anything but look like they do, so people feel safe. " so they would really just make the equipment more fancy increase checks on people and not introduce new equipment that stops what caused the bombs to be smuggled in the first place. Even if they did get new equipment to stop that bombing, they need to think about other ways we could be attacked and prevent them. Edit: I only thought about this after, how many people have you seen saying something like 'oh whenever I go on flights I get woried that I somehow smuggled a bomb' that means that the airport security is too threating and not even good at what they do anyway.
