The expression "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys" comes to mind.

Changing the subject a little I was stopped in STN as my computer keyboard tested positive for explosives. The only thing I can think of was that I had just cleaned my computer with computer wipes (I do not participate in sport shooting and I am not envolved with explosives in anyway). I was allowed to continue with my flight after helping the supervisor with a short form. He stated that it happens often and that the detecting equipent does give false indications.

Q. Does this mean that the equipment can miss possible explosive contamination?

Q. Do SB follow up on these reports?
