Out of Turkey, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and say “corruption was involved”…

Real possibility! Could also be that commercial cargo flights have far less stringent security checks than passenger flights.

They certainly due, but I’m still leaning towards what I know about how the world works in developing nations — corruption

I reckon the use of the meat mincer as cover during deployment was to evade X-raying luggage. Still weird though.

They have absolutely no reason to lie or juke the tests, so I reckon that’s the truth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a bit more skeptical with claim. Don't know details of "simulation" in Australia's claim & details count. Not dismissing, but skeptical.

It’s easy to get a passing test result. Just swab that bag, x-ray, sniffer, etc (everything they can) until something triggers.

In my (white female) case, officer looked at how much shit I had in bag & just skipped most of the biggest sections, and admitted doing so.

Mind you, I was ALSO flying out of Heathrow day after liquids plot (IIRC--or some other real scare) & found similarly lax treatment.

Everyone knows white women have never blown anything up. Except in the 60s and 70s and 80s..and 90s. But that’s it.
