TSA Fail
Joe, who runs Boomershoot and pretty much has explosive residue every where, tweets that the bag he once had loaded with explosives and that hasn’t been washed since made it right through TSA’s checkpoint.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

This is no shock… Hell my glycerin deodorant bar gets through without detection. A bag of explosives should be not a big deal either.

Way to go Joe – alert TSA. No they’ll want to swab, and/or search, every frickin bag!

His bag won’t set off alarms, but some hotel lotion will…

Next time, be a bit less submissive to the TSA agents and see what happens.

Instead of saying “TSA Fail” just say “TSA”. The “fail” is inclusive.

According to a friend of mine who is a TSA trainer they only screen for certain explosives which exclude gunpowder and blackpowder. He did not go into the complete list, I had asked him because they wiped my shoes that I wore when shooting that AM and flew that PM.

I heard that during the Knob Creek Machinegun Shoot the explosive sensors are simply deactivated at the Louisville Airport, because they’d be overwhelmed with false positives from attendees and shooters that still had residue on them.

I feel so much safer now that I know the TSA does not even bother to check for several classes of explosives.
Actually, I despise the TSA and their security charade. Useless twits in smurf blue uniforms.
Seriously now, explosives are the last threat to our aircraft now. Any terrorist who stands up in a plane with a box cutter is going to leave in a long zippered plastic bag, provided they can find all the pieces of him. Even grandmas will be stomping on his head.

@John Smith, Glycerin is not the same as nitroglycerin. BIG difference.

His mistake was not in making it look like a CPAP machine.
Apparently, those things are popular terrorist weapons.
