This is not really a full observation but just something I can't figure out. There are these new machines at the airport; they're right before the metal detectors and they're not at every metal detector. You step into a booth that looks sort of like a metal detector and it shoots little puffs of air all over you. Its fine, except I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is trying to check for. I tried asking some of the security personelle but they weren't very forthcoming.

It checks for other materials that are not metal, so a metal detector would not pick up, but that might be explosive if touched. Or something like that. You only get sent through them if you have the great joy of being "chosen for extra screening," or however they call it at the airport. Excellent way to use my tax dollars on something a little frivolous, if you ask me. But whatever.
