TSA’s “explosive trace detection” needs a dramatic overhaul [2014]

“If common household products can easily cause TSA to get a false positive ETD result, then the test is inherently poor and must be refined to eliminate such mistakes which unnecessarily cause air travelers angst, delay, and that maddening enhanced patdown they do, when TSA makes ordinary citizens feel like criminals.  They also have to significantly tighten their test procedures and training to ensure their personnel don’t cause ETD false positives, themselves.  Passengers can reduce their chances of a false positive. Don’t use a product containing glycerine on hands and body shortly before flying.  Don’t use baby wipes as they too, often contain glycerin.”
