.... to resolve opaqueness issues related to concerns about explosives does not require the TSA to examine paper for images or other content. It's a pretty easy thing to understand too.
I did not say that to resolve the alarm that it required anyone to examine pictures, or read pages. All I said it I do not think the screener was lying when she claimed that she believed the pictures that fell out were the "black mass". That is very reasonable.
And if what you say is true that most of the frequent FT members understand that the x-ray has limits, that does not explain the critism those members have when something gets by x-ray. I certainly understand criticism if the TSO who operates the x-ray is not paying attention, sleeping, or whatever. But I have yet to see ONE post by anyone here other than a TSA employee who basically says "these things will happen". If I have missed such post, I apologize. ^
