This image came across the scanner at the airport today...

[Kevin Palmer]

This was just sent to me from one of my fellow workers. He was at the airport when this "Hand Gun" was found inside a computer....



Well, it ended up being a Heat sync. Had to remove the panels of the laptop to see it...

The more I look at it the more I think it was done intentionally.. LOL

 

[Todd Z]

Was that a factory installed piece??? It looks like it...



OHH and thank you for not having me strip searched during my trip to ca..:lol:

That really did look like a revolver on the scanner image.

 

[Frank Marano]

how does that first pic look anything like a handgun?

 

[Kevin Palmer]

No problem Todd...



I assume you were a selectee as you were a single male with a recently purchased ticket. That normally does it every time.



And one way tickets are a for sure....

 

[Kevin Palmer]

fmarano, top right of the picture. Looks like a revolver. Barrel pointing straight down.

Here is a cut and paste turned in a way that most of us will recognize the shape a bit better...

I wonder what this did to their "No hassle 1 year warranty"?

 

[Dre L]

They should have made him take out the heat sink to make sure there wasn't a piece under it.

 

[Robert Stanton]

I wonder what this did to their "No hassle 1 year warranty"?

If they gave me any trouble about it, I'd have a FIT. "The TSA thought I was a terrorist trying to smuggle a handgun on board a plane because of your stupid design, and now you're giving me grief about the warranty?!"

 

[Kevin Palmer]

I would get some sort of documentation from the Airport for future potential issues...



And I would not worry about any warranty issues since the TSA was the enforcing agency..

 

[Dale Carlson]

Any idea what brand that laptop is? Wanna make sure I stay away from that make and model!

 

[Kevin Palmer]

Once the report is complete I should have the info for you.



I'll post it if they give good details..

 

[Rich Stern]

Is that one of those new 1.6Mhz revolvers? I hear they are fast and accurate.



I remember 15 years ago, carrying "luggable laptops" onto planes. They didn't put them through the scanners in those days. You just had to turn them on. One luggable that I used, about the size of two shoe boxes, had an expansion bay with enough space to conceal a half dozen small handguns or a what would amount to a ridiculous amount of explosives.



Glad they scan them these days.

 

[Richard L]

Realisticly, it would be very difficult to hide a revolver in a laptop PC.

[Kevin Palmer]

For the most part you correct Rich. But I have seen some amazing things since taking this job..

For example,
