If you really believe that, you should be filling bags with groceries, not screening bags for weapons.
You can feed unwitting mom and pops at your screening post that line of bull, but don't expect people who spend half their lives in the air to believe one word of it. It's fear-mongering malarkey that's not making us one iota safer, just like the liquids farce and the shoe carnival. You should be smart enough to recognize that, too.
