Game: Be an airport baggage screener. How many threats can you ID?
I identified 3 correctly, but had 6 false alarms. My grade was only 33/100. :-(

Can you do better:

2. I was, too.
I flagged everything that looked the slightest bit suspicious. One suitcase had a blue blob of something--I didn't know what it was, so I flagged it.

Some guy was screaming at me that his grandmother could do a quicker job. LOL.

Edited on Thu Dec-22-05 10:55 AM by merh
16 bags screened - I explosive device found out of 1 in the 16
and 2 false alerts


Guess my criminal justice/forensic background paid off.
Also helps to not let annoyed passengers bug you - you are doing them a favor.

BTW - canines are more effective than this screening - you ever need one, let me know - I work with a private group that provides them

Good morning Maddy :hug: :loveya:

6. Ok, that time I got all of them.
Seems to me with a little training you'd get pretty good at it.

7. I found 1 out of 3.
But the last one I saw was obviously a gun, but time ran out before I could click 'gun' - not sure if that was counted in the 2 I missed.
