appears they need to up the sesitivity. I’m curious if powders, small baggies between toes and the like will trigger it. Very interesting. It will be lovely if they get it up and running nationwide.

Can they email the MRI image to my doctor? It’d cost me $2,000 to get a foot MRI at a hospital.

One dude … ONCE put a bomb in his shoe. And we’re pretending like it’s a regular thing and we need to check everyone for it.
What about the guy who literally put a bomb in his underwear before he got on a plane? Will the same machine that checks your WHOLE body also check your feet?
Yeah, I thought so.
