Screener Sends Himself Through X-Ray

DENVER - A security screener at the Denver airport has been disciplined for sending himself through an X-ray machine.

"I cannot ascribe any sort of motive to why anyone would do this," said Mike Fierberg, spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.

Fierberg would not release the screener's name or detail the punishment.

"The screener in question did not jeopardize the safety of any passengers or aircraft," he said Monday. "But it was clearly behavior that is not acceptable."

Whadda maroon. Fierberg too. Same motive that people photocopy their face, hand or ass. "Because they can." Oh, and a healthy dose of curiosity. I wonder what the scan looked like?

This brings to mind the scene in Total Recall when Arnold comes running through the airport X-ray machine and you can see the gun he's carrying ...

Seems harmless enough. Maybe he couldn't aford and MRI.

My lips are sealed...about the sparky incident

[MD_Willington_1976]

Only temporarily though..went to school with a guy who's dad was a fighter pilot for the Danish airforce...the pilots would pull the aim radar to the groin trick before leave...He was still produced...

[martin_fierro]

Oh, so now you're keeping things from me.

And I thought we had something special.

*sniffle* HONK!

(Don't want to hear any story involving questionable placement of wands, tho)

[Tijeras_Slim]

Ummmm.... Errrr....Just checking to see if you're paying attention.

Thanks Cougar, I owe you one.

Her answer "Yeah it looks completely harmless".

Overheard conversation of his two female co-workers: "Damn. I guess he really WAS happy to see me..."

Thanks Cougar, I owe you one.

Looks like I'm going to end up on the Hobbit Hole Ping List.

[CougarGA7]

LOL! Must have been a female coworker.

Thank God we have mature, responsible people in charge of airline security.

Aim radar illumination does not have the output power level of a tracking radar source, which is narrow-beam. Those are the ones that can make you go bald!
