Long-time sufferers readers have read both Wayan and Stacey‘s takes on the ‘puffer’ explosives detectors in place in our airports, so I thought I’d point out the Post’s story that the machines are apparently headed for the great scrap-heap in the sky, victims of the War on Liquids and their tendency to get clogged up with all the dust and cruft floating around a busy airport.

Color me shocked that a machine designed to ‘sniff’ might need its filters cleaned more often than our crack TSA security is prepared to do.
