That was the moment of the debate for me. It all could've been argued OK he's old OK he's got a speech impediment but what the fuck is the big fentanyl machine they roll across the border supposed to fucking mean holy shit

Someone showed him an industry ad video for the sort of big sensor array things they install in some border checkpoints and he couldn't comprehend any of it apart from seeing a big thing moving and hearing someone claim it helps find hidden drug compartments.

Those spice harvesters from dune but they're trying to suck up fentanyl

Funny, Fentanyl Machine is also what my cousin was nicknamed by his junior college frat

Like a machine which detects fentanyl that rolls over (i.e. passes over/has roll through) items that come across the border. It made enough sense to me, it's not the machine that rolls across the border

Oh so he's suggesting border TSA

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Yup, pretty much what KobaCumT or Lemmygradwontallowme say. I'm guessing it's an airport scanner but he couldn't explain it

Rolling across the wastes of Texas on the hunt for fentanyl. The looming shadow of The Machine across the horizon.

Aren't they like security airport scanners? I think they're supposed to be bare minimum...
