TSA Groaping Stories

[staticblac]

i was reading an old post and relazed no one has really covered this subject, at dc11 I purchased a Cold war era radiation detector which I checked into my baggage, when I recived my baggage ( was the last one out ) I noticed that it had been zip tied because the people at TSA care so much about the zippers of my luggage, I noticed that the radiation detector had been completly dissaembled because one half was not properly put back on.

Seriously what would you had expected???

Your probably lucky it was still in your luggage, I mean they probably did't figured out what it was... If you plan brigging back that type of items, do yourself a favors and send them back by ground mail...

I don't know mutch about those, but I expect Radiation Detector to have some sort of radiation shielding, so they must be very hard to scan... It's very normal that they dissasemble them to verify if it's a bomb or whatever...
