New Airport security from Israel. Bombers go BOOM!

[Spiraling Leopard]

TEL AVIV, Israel — The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners. It's an armored booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person.


Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials.


You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement: “Attention to all standby passengers, El Al is proud to announce a seat available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!”

Is that for real?  That is so cool, but it will not detonate bombs that are not electronically activated.  Many binary explosives can be activated by mechanical force or impact just as a bullet is fired when a gun hammer strikes the primer which sets off the gunpowder.

How it will react to a pack of bullets.

The problem is they technically could detonate before they step into the device.

Why a detonator laden person will knowingly enter in to this device.
