Hey guys...I went over to this anti-government site and posted a question to those whackos...I mean who else better to ask how to screw over customs then the people who dispise the whole system. Anyways, this dude posted something that was of interest to me about fooling an x-ray. He said that the use of a couple antimagnetic shielding bags would distort the image inside a package coming from overseas. Now these are used for protecting film and video tapes from magnetic rays.....these bags assure that they will not be affected by any x-rays!! Now, I have never heard of anyone using these bags for anything other than that...but this guy did sound like he knew what he was talking about....and he is foreign to the U.S. here is the entire post:
If you want to mail something that you don´t want to be x-rayed, you must simply put a sticker saying that the package contains some materials that can be affected by several sorts of radiation, including x-ray's, this sticker is usually sold in post offices all around Europe. The main problem this sticker has is that if the packet can be opened by the post service.
You can also use antimagnetic bags that are used to protect electronic material, wraping a packet with several of them will distort the x-ray image.
Never use any sort of leaded material to wrap the package because it will appear as a big white blot on the x-ray machine screen, and it will make the package to be opened by the postal service.
There are also some other ways of posting suspectful equipment without being x-rayed, one of them is using a small private delivery company that can afford these type of machines, which are rather expensive, or posting them in a small town which office doesn't provide this service, (most of small village offices doesn't use this tecnology).
He does sound like he knows what he is talking about....wonder if this would actually work...any opinions?
