..... was the PlayStation ok, or did they detonate it?
Aw, as someone with an unnatural fascination with Peter Ustinov:
I was momentarily excited about the possibility of a Logan's Run video game.
Look at how coy he is in Spartacus!
Check out what a terrible Hercule Poirot he was:
I love you, Peter Ustinov, but Poirot is not supposed to be six feet tall and blonde.
Submitter seems a little old to be alive.
Jesus Boston, is there anything that doesn't scare the shiat out of you?
Damn I wish I'd died at thirty.
To be honest, Logan's run is sounding more and more like an ideal solution to congress.
"They said the console was in a degraded condition caused by either age or damage. They said its condition had caused abnormalities in imaging when it was X-rayed, sparking concerns."
Aaaand how does that excuse the fact that the
security theaterTSA can't tell electronics from bombs?
In the end, police said the suspicious item turned out to be a PlayStation video game console.
They said the console was in a degraded condition caused by either age or damage. They said its condition had caused abnormalities in imaging when it was X-rayed, sparking concerns.
"Degraded condition?" WTF?
I doubt there's anything abnormal about x-raying a PSP, the TSA are just morons once again.

Thankfully it wasn't an Atari or they really might have freaked out the TSA X-Ray machine

If it was sparking, I'd be concerned too

Funny what TSA does and does not detect.

I thought it was at 28?

And I found the wiki page and it is 21. Not sure if my mind just did four 7-year periods or I just can't do math. Like most, the book was far more interesting.

Detonate the whole airport. It's the only way to be sure.

I had a stack of 12" vinyl records in a carry on once. Apparently it looked like a block of plastic explosives on the x-ray.

When that politically connect guy reached renewal I knew the whole system was rigged. Look how far he is. How could that get up there when all the skinny people got asploded?

Had a bar of Silver in a bag once. That got some special attention, when for obvious reasons, I was trying to keep it on the downlow.

Only thing I've ever been searched on was spare 18650 batteries, xray said they looked like shotgun shells. Accidentally managed to get knives and other verboten items through, though.
I had a metal bar surgically installed into by ribcage as a child due to a rare case of pectus excavatum. It set off metal detectors frequently. The funny part was being scanned by TSA and explaining the situation and they're still scanning me like I have a gun under my sternum. It stopped happening eventually for some reason

love the unprotected capacitors and we can only talk about hair.
I was nearly arrested at SeaTac in 2010. I had a pair of Adidas One trainers with the battery operated cable tension system that raised all sorts of flags when they were scanned. It was super late at night and we were already running late, so I didn't think about how terrible of an idea it would be to offer to demonstrate them to the agent and reach for them. Got swarmed by people immediately and had to sit with an agent in the recombobulation area and watch as they wrecked the insoles trying to get the batteries out in case I decided to (gasp) adjust the tension in the shock system in flight. I guess I'm just lucky they didn't cut the cables out of spite and that I was eventually able to board.

Christopher Walken has some advice for you on precious item smuggling
When they referred to "Carrousel" in the movie I didn't realize it was where you picked up your checked luggage...
When I was a kid I got a used ammo box at a yard sale, and would take it to camp with me to store candy and snacks since it sealed tight and wouldn't let water in.
I once took it with me on a flight and got some weird looks from security at check-in.
And this was pre-9/11. I doubt I'd want to try that now

Ha - I have an ammo box that I use to transport my stage/recording gear (mic, pickup, in-ears, some adapters/splitters, power supply for an effects pedal, etc.). I was asked by my church to find a new container because it was freaking people out.

Yes, because the one thing all IEDs have in common is bright lights drawing attention to themselves.
They also put them up in NYC, Atlanta, and Los Angeles and somehow none of those other cities shiat their pants over them.
