Anyone ever gone through the TSA screening/xray machines and had the machine put an image of a weapon in their bag to "test" the screeners?
Ft Lauderdale March 16th, my friend (who ownes a few handguns and knives...ex army) and I were going through security. The screener stops the belt, backs it up and summons all the other guys. They crowd the monitor and point and discuss. We are wondering wtf is going on. We are almost late for our plane to Freeport.
Turns out the machine put a E-weapon in his bag, except they didnt realize it was fake until they went through the whole procedure when someone tries to smuggle a weapon through security. The accusatory questioning, bag searching, the second guessing wondering if somehow a weapon dropped into the bag in his closet without him noticing. No major deal to us 20 something year olds but I can imagine a 90 year old man or woman with heart trouble would have kicked it.
We were drunk so me and my other friends made fun of our other friend profusely, loudly advising him the TSA would find his furry handcuffs, anal lube, and leather stretch pants. And anal beads. Quite embarrassing for him but oh well.
The screener later told us it was some big curvy dagger that was obvious on the screen. Some test.
Focus: Anybody have this happen to them? Share your experience.
