    In comparison to the TSA they have a very non-intrusive and effective airport screening setup.

    I think there is one like that on a gun application.
    Are you a criminal/terrorist, etc...

    Yea, I would not be surprised if there was some super obscure and rare condition like this.
    It's just really fucking unlikely that this WiFi guy had it given his circumstances.

    I wish I had that, my CC company has a max of 6 characters.
    I assume someone sent the design doc to the developer and mixed up MINIMUM and MAXIMUM.

    Sounds like glasses free too.
    What good is this SW if it only works under extremely specific circumstances?

    it'd be like if they replaced background checks with a questionnaire asking "Are you a criminal?".

    Al it'll take is a few high profile scams and their reputation will be ruined.

    Not normals, just people who claim they can detect electromagnetism...

    If their claims are true they should have no problem.

    Gotcha, but I'm guessing even in the old days they did not emit so much EMI that it could be detected from hundreds of Ft away?

    They make those incentives like; $1 gets early access to beta, $10 gets free copy and below benefit, $100 gets free shirt and below benefits.

    Oh god I hate that word "natural"
    Immediate red flag when it gets used to describe something.

    "Made with ALL NATURAL ingredients"

    So as opposed to synthetic ingredients? Arsenic is natural, hell it can even be a 100% pure element with no other compounds or elements mixed in; doesn't mean I'll want any on my food.

    Interstellar space has "natural" radiation in it, why don't all these "natural" people go take a stroll and let us know how beneficial it is for their health, in the mean time I'll stay here under the magnetosphere.

    I think they are small rare earth ones wrapped in silicone or something biologically neutral/sterile.

    IDK if they would be idiots...

    They could make the same presentation to a capital investment firm that would fund it 100% and if they did not deliver the firm would have legal recourse.

    But since it's being presented to thousands of users who only fund it a little bit they have no recourse.

    There is also a sizable population of mental patients who think they are Joan or Ark or Napoleon.
    Good thing physics does not care how many people believe in something.

    How do they account for background radiation, or all the other various EM radiation we're exposed to every day?
    Do they live in some kind of 100% perfect Faraday cage that blocks all forms of radiation; because I know some physicists that would love to get their hands on a building material that could do that.
