Just got an email from a friend that spent a day shooting with me and was covered with powder residue:
So, with regard to the response of an airport hand swipe sniffer thing to
having spent a couple of hours firing hand guns, the answer is: it did
not register. I warned the two security people that I had been at a gun
range and asked if it would matter, and they actually didn't know the
answer and were as curious as I was at what would happen. I don't know
if they were as surprised as I was at the result, but the machine didn't
care. I don't know what that means, but it's curious. I wonder if it's
just an empty plastic box with lights and buttons that doesn't actually
do anything, and is just there to scare/re-assure people.
