That's been done before, sort of. The passenger had a small flashlight that looked like the one that TSA uses but his was a regular white light. It was funny for sure.

Are your flashlights LED based?

The UV wavelengths that document security features respond to are public knowledge. Otherwise there would be no point in including them in documents. :rolleyes:

If the source of the UV light is really considered SSI by the TSA, that would be one more incredibly stupid behavior on their part.

Wait! You are probably right. ;)

Or you don't know the difference between incandescent, fluorescent, HID, and LED lights. :)
