yeah. that's what I said as soon as my mom told me about the geiger counter. it's TSA security theatre. -- nm - mafic Mar 17, 08:57 7
- I'm not sure that's TSA, for arriving passengers. Maybe the local department of health, or even the Nuclear Regulatory Commission? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 08:59 6
  - my mom thought it was regular security dudes, but she's bad at details. -- nm - mafic Mar 17, 09:00 5
    - most people don't go through security when they land. interesting. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 09:01 4
      - seems they were on the jetway as people came off the plane. - mafic Mar 17, 09:04 1
        
        that is weird. I guess TSA would have the geiger counters. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 09:12
      - note: Not questioning your mom at all. I'm genuinely curious who is doing it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 09:02 1
        
        no worries. she could very easily be wrong. -- nm - mafic Mar 17, 09:05
they are so busy checking for radiation that they are forgetting to screen for flu? -- nm - zork Mar 17, 08:53 1
- don't get me started on airport disease screening. :) -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 08:54
it is so! I just watched it happen on Fringe last night! -- nm - decline - Go Pitt Mar 17, 08:53
