I have to agree... once you get that motorcycleing in your blood then your pretty well screwed your going to ride til there is no more rideing left in you... my whole family except for my brother says sell the motorcycle... Hell no it's only got about 500 in damages so I will fix that and get back to rideing hopefully come feburary of next year...

I Have a doctors appointment on December 4th to have the cast removed and a removeable medical boot walking cast put on so I will be one step closer to recovery hopefully... I just thank god every day that I'm still alive from the motorcycle accident!

Sniffer machine sniffs for signs of explosives material on any part of your clothing or body... So if you had for example a fireworks show that you went to and the very next day no matter if you took a shower you would have to explain to security why the alarm went off...

When the alarm goes off it detected odors of the fireworks and thinks your handeling explosives...

[quote]Indianapolis International is the latest airport in the United States to employ a sophisticated new system designed to sniff out explosives.

The Transportation Security Administration has deployed a trio of the $160,000 trace detection portal devices at passenger screening checkpoints at the airport. The idea is to stop explosives from being smuggled on board aircraft.

Not only are the sniffers designed to detect explosives, they can provide passengers with “efficient and effective screeningâ€

yep i bet the rod would set it off everytime, it's not like headgear you can't take it off , is it permanent or will it be removed after your leg is healed

Unfortanantly it's "Permanent" I kind of figured I would set the alarms off at wal-mart and target but I guess not so I'm good there as I go to one or the other alot.
