Whites Metal Detectors

Security checkpoints at the airports?

Has anybody ridden on an airplane since the 9-11 attacks? If so what is it like going through the security checkpoints? I'm kind of curious cause I'm gonna fly to Vancouver BC sometime next year and I'll pretty excited about it, also would I have to go through a pat down search whether if I set off the metal detector or not?

Most passengers make it through security with just a walk through the x-ray or sniffer machines. If you're the lucky passenger chosen at random for a more intense inspection, or if the results of your x-raying are suspicious, you'll be asked to take everything out of your bags, remove exterior clothing (sweater, jacket) and get "wanded" which is where they pass a metal-detecting wand over your body. They keep the wand about 2 inches from your body, and don't usually touch you. If the results are still questionable, they may ask you to step into a private room and undress to your underwear, then put on a robe like a hospital gown and get wanded again but that's really, really rare and only if the other inspections give suspicious results. And if for some reason you do require further screening, the pat-down searches are done using the back of the hand against your body, not the palm.

It's really unlikely that you'll get that thorough of an inspection if you dress and pack with common sense. Don' try to take any metal on your body; for the ladies, even an underwire bra can set the x-ray alarm off if it's set too sensitive, so choose clothing that does not have metal decorations, supports, inserts, etc. Don't take any medications on your body-- put them in the carry-on bags-- and if for some reason you come into contact with explosives, fuels or chemicals on a regular basis, make sure the clothes you wear haven't been exposed since your last laundry day. People who work in chemical plants and certain kinds of factories do set the sniffer alarms off more frequently than those who work in other settings. If you have any metal in your body (surgical pins, surgical staples, etc) bring a doctor's note with you.

Kuku Impenetrable Metal Ball Puzzle $89.99 The Kuku is driving us cuckoo here at ThinkGeek. We keep passing the shiny metal sphere around the office, but nobody can figure out how to open it. Even our smartest monkeys are totally stumped. There just doesn't seem to be a way to get it open! It's quite possibly even harder than the Isis Puzzle, which we also can't solve. If you want the ultimate bragging rights of being smarter than a ThinkGeek monkey, you need to solve the Kuku (or Isis, or both!) and send us pictures so we might sing your praises and laud you as some sort of shiny brushed metal puzzle deity. If you ever do make it to the center of your Kuku, you'll find a token that can be registered online to play the vault game. To open the vault, you must decode a picture clue to identify a 10 digit code. The first person to enter the code correctly is admitted into the vault for five minutes. In those five minutes, you explore the three dimensional room and choose a safety deposit box. In the box could be cash, a gift voucher, various electronic gifts, or even a new high quality puzzle. According to the manufacturer's website, no winners of Kuku have stepped forward to claim their prize - will you be the first?

Vancouver & Zatokrev $11.99 Vancouver & Zatokrev

Digital WiFi Detector $49.99 We haven't seen any WiFi sniffing dogs at the airport, but we suspect that somewhere there is a small group of individuals dedicated to training such useful helpers. Until these canines are trained and domesticated we have a device that can assist in "sniffing out" the presence of WiFi. It's a nice unit that offers several improvements on currently available WiFi detectors. Your typical WiFi detector will only show the presence of a signal and relative signal strength - not very helpful. This Digital WiFi Detector has a backlit LCD screen that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present, the LCD will allow you to scroll through information for each network. Also has these great features.

Wi-Fi Detector Shirt $19.99 Here at ThinkGeek we're pretty lazy when it comes to technology. We expect our gadgets to do all the busywork while we focus on the high level important tasks like reading blogs. That's why we hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about... and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.

Pi By Numbers Hoodie $33.99 What is Pi? Some might define it as the ratio of a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. Others might think it's an irrational number that's impossible to know completely. Still others might think it's a mystical, transcendental, almighty number that will only finally be revealed when society as a whole puts on a bunch of purple felt jump suits and hitches a ride on a nearby comet. We know it's one of our favorite numbers, and that's gotta be good for something. 50/50 cotton/polyester 9.1 oz hooded sweatshirt with drawstring hood and "unipocket" in the front with the Pi symbol printed on the front in white. A whole bunch of digits of Pi were used to construct the Pi symbol itself. Ok, we admit it, we didn't count the digits for the hoodie. A big shout out from ThinkGeek goes to Archimedes way back in the B.C. for finally giving us a good approximation of Pi, and doing so without the benefit of modern trigonometry. And thanks to the Egyptians and Babylonians for trying.
