The commentary that Mr. Corbett provides is the only proof offered that he actually either went through a WBI system or that he got through with the items he claims. That’s it. No actual video of his passing through the WBI, no proof that he was carrying anything even if he did, and no proof that if he actually was carrying something as claimed that it was not caught and examined by the TSO’s. No “beef” what-so-ever.
IOW, its smoke and mirrors, all of it. But, he did get something out of it. Thousands of hits to his web site, his name in most major newspapers, and of course the 30 to 40 people who actually are willing to try and test his theories into a much different situation than he promised. Which of course will also be TSA’s fault, since they can do nothing right. [/sarcasm]
I hate to admit it, but amongst Ron's childish sputterings of "No, no, no! He's a big fat LIAR!", Ron does indeed have a legitimate point - Corbett's checkpoint video is not clear and does not actually show him putting the metal case into the hidden pocket, being scanned, and transiting the checkpoint. Once the camera goes into the bin, it is entirely possible that, as Ron seems to believe, Corbett simply removed the metal case from the hidden pocket and put it into the bin with his belongings while he transited the c/p, then retrieved it and replaced it before he retrieved the camera, creating the illusion that it was in the pocket during the scan. I don't believe that's what happened, but it is possible, and until there is another video showing the entire process without cuts or breaks, the critics will continue their disbelief.
Personally, I believe Corbett's assertion, but I really would like to see this done again with a clear, unbroken video shot by people standing both inside and outside the c/p, of the whole thing.
