Maximum jitters typically occur when the can of Canada Dry ginger ale I drank expands from the pressure change during the dissent and a mad dash to the bathroom ensues at the airport.

That's funny, because that particular day there was ridiculous amount of people waiting at border control. And I had been waiting an hour in a queue and I had to pee so bad, so I was hopping from one leg to another, looking periodically at the queue and when it will move forward.

I'm surprised noone arrested me, especially since 12 days before that the underwear bomber went on a plane from Amsteram. From Delta plane, which is part of Air France, which was the plane I came with.

And then looking at the notice like that you make an effort not to look terrorist, which in all probability makes you look more suspicious.

no. The first glock, the 17, had many plastic parts, which slowed its adoption because people were skeptical of it. Modern models are still made with many polymer parts.

They already have an extensive bio-warfare detection system in the US postal system. Anthrax's days are pretty much done in the USPS.

The body scanner wouldn't do jack to detect anthrax in your ass...which only furthers my point of the almost complete uselessness of the body scanner. And, someone said that a "porcelain" gun wouldn't exist. Yet, we have knives made of ceramics harder than steel (but chip when used wrong.) They have some ceremics that are even resistant to shear stress. A quick trip to a university library would result in all the knowledge needed to manufacture a weapn WITHOUT metal in it.

We need things like compound detection with false-positive reduction.

ceramic guns were prototyped by both America and the USSR during the cold war. There is no reason to believe any of these were more successful than their psychic spies.

yes, the vast improvements in a 10 thousand year old technology. Not to be glib, but I don't think clay is really a good option. If we are talking about potential weapons made by huge nations to avoid airport scanners, a polymer or carbon nano-tube option would be way better in the modern world.

If that was really what you meant, then why mention "glock" to begin with? Simple, you were thinking of the imaginary Glock 7.


Here's why:

Why did you quote the following post:



That post quite obviously refers to the entire gun being made from materials other than metal.

You also said this:



Now why would you need to bring up the fact that some pieces are metal if we are both talking about a gun that's supposed to be almost completely a ceremic?

In other words, you were referring to the fictiona Glock, tried to back-track, and it doesn't fit well. The fact that your reply was almost completely irrelevant to what we are discussing makes it quite obviously, a strawman.
