Reply #14: There is something about the density and consistency [View All]

First off, I think airline security is a joke, but a screener that I know told me that some substances get flagged because they have the same density and consistency of plastic explosives, so on the monitor in the system flags it. Peanut Butter was one he mentioned. Maybe baby food fits the bill too.

But everytime I fly, I sit and watch the screeing and think, if someone wanted to get weapons on board it would not be that hard. Just put it in the pipes or a stroller or wheelchair or cart. Or fake a badge and drive an electric cart through. I see pilots walk through the wrong way all the time. The never get screened. So dumb.
