customsteve01 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I bought new caps for my La Scalas from Bob at the Pilgramage. We had a brief discution as to if he thought they could go thru security or not, I mean they do kinda look like something else. Well I decided whats the worst that could happen, so I thru them in my carry on bag and stuck it thru the x-ray machine. It went thru and there were no questions ask at all. When I got home I opened up the bag and took this picture. Maybe they look different in the x-ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEC Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I sold a pair new type E crossovers to a Russian diplomat once. He could not get them on Aeroflot for the trip back to Moscow until I wrote a letter to go with them explaining what all the parts were and what the function of the device was. I had to write it on paper with my business letterhead and send it to him. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmikid Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well, They've gotten to know Bob and what he's capable of. But they don't know my deodorant, just wait 'till they get to know me without it. Actually I never use deodorant! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oh and I do hear a difference in the speakers after the instalation. Well don't keep us all in suspense! Which one do you think sounds better, the "before" or the "after"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Just kidding Bob! That's some very nice work there Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Most newer airport xrays check for substance not looks. Many newer Xrays check on known exposive substances and flag them if they xray something and it looks like something known. That is why reporters all the time make fake looking bombs without the explosives and report that they can get through security and blah blah blah. They mapped or scanned most known explosives and verify that way. If every suspicious electronics was flagged anyone with a cellphone or ipod would be flagged.

Malcolm Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hmmm... I don't think x-rays are going to detect explosives like that. C4 and Fimo modelling clay are going to look pretty much the same if they have the same density. I do know, though, that many big airports have explosive detectors that sniff the air and detect certain kinds of molecules. Maybe that is what you are thinking of? FWIW the TSA wants to get rid of them. Maybe too many false alarms? I bet you wouldn't get those capacitors by ElAl without a close look...

The air molecule ones are 10 million dollars + Plus if I went to the fireing range yesterday or stuff I would fail....... C4 density is different from model clay. Also its pretty much known and horrible but if you are a clean shaven, white decent looking person you will go by no problems..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well, I suppose Aeroflot has more effective security than the TSA. I am surprised those crossover parts made it through without notice. They just look dangerous, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Those x-over parts should have been checked. I'm surprised they got through. All it takes though, is a few moments inattention on the part of the operator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Has anyone done a security check on Bob? He's distributing these suspicious devices throughout the world (heck, even I have a pair)! He might have some remote control device (listening, Mark?), just waiting for the right time to detonate these so-called "crossovers." I mean, the guy was a DJ, ferchrissakes.

BEC Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yeah, they arm on playing a rap recording immediately followed by a jazz recording and then the next song by Dwight Yoakam triggers the device. I can't believe no one has hit that combination yet. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You might want to make the trigger song be one by Tanya Tucker, since she's had more crossover hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 I was really suprized that they didn't even want to look into the bag. I have had them check my computer bag cause they thought my jump drive was a lighter. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 ......Well I decided whats the worst that could happen, so...... Taser and cavity search come to mind. I'm amazed that they let those go by so easily. Did it look like they were they paying attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
