I fly for business and I can't really afford to just walk away. There will be a lot of money lost for me then.
MAMOHT,
That's gotta be SOOOO annoying (not to mention unreasonable, as in "unreasonable searches....")
Some observations and questions:
Some over-the-counter lotions will "ping the machine".
So will shoes that have been in contact with fertilizer (e.g. golf shoes, your lawn).
Probably if it has "nitrites" in it; I remember something along those lines.
How many times has this happened in the last few months?
How often do you fly?
Is your business set up for telecommuting so you could decrease the amount of flying?
Can you take the train or drive?
