[quote]Airport spokesperson Carolyn Fennell said the devices should be in use for passengers on a voluntary basis in several days.<hr></blockquote>

I'll be sure to stand in line for that before my next flight.

Could somebody develop a metal detector with a sensitivity meter instead? That is, if you're packing 2 lbs of hard steel in your pants, it should show up differently than pocket change.

<strong>Geez, that dude is a real load. One question: what would prevent a metal detector from detecting guns in one's pants? THey still make you go through until it doesn't beep, right?

What if the gun is not metal. Aren't Glock's (sp?) ceramic?

No..Glocks have some plastic..but are mostly metal too.
I have carried the Glock model 22 and 27 so that's where I got my information.

<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> Methinks he's just fat. Maybe gay too though.
J :cool:

I believe they're constructed mostly from polymers, but the internal parts of Glocks contain enough metal in them to be detected by a metal detector.

Of course the thing with Glocks is that they can't hit a white whale on a black sea. I think an airline hijacker would be better served with a knife than a glock.

Probably right, but pulling a knife or pulling a gun, which one scares you more? With a knife you can run and maybe get away, with a gun it is tough to outrun a bullet.

Why is that?
[quote] When you see a sign saying "caution, microwave oven in use," does that mean you should be alarmed? Microwave ovens don't pose a danger to anyone. There once was a belief that pacemakers -- electronic devices that help regulate heartbeats -- might be harmed or interrupted by radiation from microwave ovens, but doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center say that's a false belief. The only way a microwave oven could be dangerous to a pacemaker wearer is if the person was inside the oven itself while it was operating -- and that wouldn't be a good thing for anyone to do. Even the older microwave ovens aren't dangerous. <hr></blockquote>
