Read the law.

The image shape is not dependent upon the metallic content.

Plastics have higher thermal expansion coefficients

This is actually inaccurate.

and a lower fatigue life at the same ratio of applied to yield stress.

Not a direct comparison. Plastics fatigue less near the failure limit. The rest of your factual assertions are also incorrect.

The attempt is to prevent guns being brought into protected areas.

It's not going to stop anyone. If it did, they could simply make their own non-metallic firearm by drilling a hole in anything. No one has ever needed to bother.

The engineering features of guns banned by this law make them inferior pieces. They excel in only one property, their ability to pass undetected though present screening methods.

Not true. They would be lighter, less expensive, and possibly more reliable.

Hence they are assassins tools.

Not true, no assassin has ever used them. They are assassin's tools only to fools and liars.

It's doubtful you could name any interference. It's also clear that you don't comprehend that all attempts to defeat it will be caught. Unless of course morons are running the checkpoint, but that applies to the recognition of a gun in the x-ray image.

Phosphates would overwhelm andy bionary sensor. The terrorists won't be stopped by any aircraft security or stupid law. They are only meant to pacify simpletons.

Murder is against the law. Guns are not. Since you mentioned tools, I told you the engineering features banned by this law are useful only as an assassins tool.

Again, they have never been used by assassins to defeat security. Prove it or stop lying about.

It is clear that you are defending the banning of a class of weapons based on a incompetent understanding of the technology used to detect them. The same misguided and flawed logic you have used here was used in all gun bans, and none of it has made the world any safer. You know this law won't save any lives, and if not then I can't help you. Your simple minded willingness to compromise other people's freedoms makes you unworthy of the liberty your have. You don't deserve it.

" The image shape is not dependent upon the metallic content."

Read the law again. I said x-ray density for a reason. THe plastic reenforcer can be an xray dense oxide, or salt.

Re:Plastics have higher thermal expansion coefficients
" This is actually inaccurate.

They are at least an order of magnitude higher, usually more. Check your facts.

re:and a lower fatigue life at the same ratio of applied to yield stress."Not a direct comparison. "

fatigue life is a number. To compare to materials, that stress ratios forces a direct comparison.

" Plastics fatigue less near the failure limit.

Fatigue less? Fatigue more? WTHIT? Fatigue life is the number of cycles to failure. That is the measure.

"The rest of your factual assertions are also incorrect."

Sure.

"phosphates"

Are not an interference for nitrates.

" Again, they have never been used by assassins to defeat security.

I wouldn't know.

" Prove it or stop lying about."

LOL.

" It's not going to stop anyone. If it did, they could simply make their own non-metallic firearm by drilling a hole in anything."

Since 1988 that's what folks had to do to have one of these things.

" The terrorists won't be stopped by any aircraft security or stupid law."

They ain't had much luck since 911. Of course you'd like to see undetectable guns on the market.

"Your simple minded willingness to compromise other people's freedoms makes you unworthy of the liberty your have. You don't deserve it.

I haven't compromised anything. Whining about this nonsense would.
