Helping Terrorists Make Dry Runs

OK that is bit over the top. However I find this a bit odd. You can purchase a toy to practice scanning people at airports. It’s billed as being a way to get kids accustomed to airport security. The usual nuts are out on the attack as usual.
You can get a Playmobil Security Checkpoint

Or you can get an X-Ray machine to practice detecting metal.
Just perfect for those dry runs.
In an effort to help children understand and be comfortable and confident in the need and process of higher security protocols we’ve developed a new play and learning toy and resource web site to promote and educate security procedures.
OperationCheckpoint.com and the makers of the Scan-It toy are attempting to bring security technology companies, governments and security providers together to help educate children on the need and importance of airport and public spaces security.
It’s important to have kids understand security. It seems to me that it’s the so-called adults that need education.
Scan It® is an educational and creative play toy that helps children become acclimated with airport and public spaces security. The device is both a fun toy and an educational tool. It detects metal objects and simulates an X-ray scan via a functioning conveyor belt that glides articles over its metal detector path. When metallic items are present the unit beeps and lights up.
Can’t wait for Hillary/Obama-care toy emergency room. Stocked with Chia-pets you can watch them age as they wait for care.
Some of the comments are hysterical and disturbing.
