From what I have seen on my trips there, the Germans are not screening all bags for explosives in the way that we do. Remember Pan-Am 103? It was loaded in Germany, I don't see them doing anything different now. The Germans do not have ETD machines, so comparing what they do to us is apples to oranges. You guys seem to really enjoy griping so much about the machines. Invent one that is DESIGNED to do the task of running 100's of samples a day. They just do not exist yet.
