The problem with molecular sniffing
So, let's let's say the loading boy at the local store is really a mad bomber, who makes up stuff in his basement. And say you buy a can of shaving cream from that store. All shit breaks loose! Has the 'Security Bureaucracy' gone nuts?
I heard that, in some countries, if you walk in with 2 or 3 poppy seeds on the soles of your shoes, you can get arrested AND CONVICTED of possessing drugs, and go to prison. That's like convicting you of farming if you have a little cow-flop on your shoe.

I heard that if you shake hands with an old guy taking nitroglycerin pills then you are screwed at the airport!
