This begs the question: Would they know what to do if they ever did "catch" someone?
(i.e., Procede to the furthest phone and call in the SWAT team/Bomb squad.)
I'm thinking the machine is turned off and this exercise is just for show.

And money.

We are undoubtedly paying top 'specially jacked up just for the taxpayer' prices for these swabs and testers. The companies that produce them own a few Congressfolks and likely golf and lunch with procurement staff at TSA.

First and foremost, this stuff doesn't have to catch anyone or anything: it's got to make somebody rich(er).
