Oh good, can't wait for the follow up news story about TSA agents being fired for shouting "SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT DONUT THIS MORNING, FATTY."

Paul should stop snorting coke, then he won't have to worry. He'll sleep better, too.

Fucking science-ignorant media.

This is spectroscopy. It just identifies what chemicals are present, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do at an airport. It's like a drug sniffing dog, except mechanical.

It definitely can't tell "everything about your body," that is false and irresponsible reporting. Shame on Gizmodo for that, they have lost all credibility with this ridiculous hyperbole, especially since they claim to be tech-oriented.

And the Merc should probably think twice before publishing items they don't understand. What Gizmodo did is obvious, misleading sensationalism, and anyone with a basic technical background can see that.

So yes, it's hyperbole.

Will they be able to tell if you're using hyperbole?
