So I came back from india a little while ago and obviousely we had a lot of US dolla's in our possession and when we went to HEB to get some groceries, we set off the detector! Immediately I thought of the bills. Took my moms purse she walked through, nothing. Took the purse, walked through and beep beep beep. Took the wallet from within passed it through beep beep beep. Yes its possible there could be something in the material. Then yesterday Walked into a walgreens had the same thing happen! I happened to be wearing just an undershirt and basketball shorts without pockets so i took out my moms money, 3 fifties and 4 twenties and walked through. BEEP BEEP BEEP.
This is rather unnerving. Sometimes it doesnt happen in some stores. But it has happened in quite a few stores. THIS is very bad news. I mean, now the government is tracking our cash money. The big brotherness of this is really unnerving. Yes it really doesnt affect me. But someday I'm plannin to be rich, and I wouldnt mind havin a load of cash stashed somewhere for safe keeping. I think that we the people need to do something about this. You all can try it for yourself.
The new twenties and the model before it, the new fifties. It rarely sets it off when they are alone, but if you have more than two of em...its really weird.
