But the only way to quickly verify that itโ€™s โ€œbananaโ€ bread is to put it in the spectrometer! Itโ€™s one of the best ways to identify individual elements. The most common impostor, โ€œbanaโ€ bread, looks and tastes almost identical in all respects, but contains only half the sodium.

There is an important issue here! They make the rule, but they don't tell you the story that made them think to make the rule. There is always a story. For example, at the university I used to work for, if you wanted to be reimbursed for travel, they said you had to submit the boarding passes. Clearly, someone had tried to get reimbursed for a trip they did not take. But at the time, Southwest COLLECTED the boarding passes, so no one who flew Southwest could be reimbursed. We took pictures of the passes. Sometimes that worked, sometimes not. Then it became possible to check in online and print the boarding pass. You could print two copies of the boarding pass. Or 100. This did not prove that you had boarded the plane, but it satisfied the rule.

The people who made the rule were staff who never got reimbursed for travel. They had no idea what problems they were creating, or that their rule did not accomplish what they intended.

laugh all you want, but we had access to portable/ruggedized spectrometer, tomography and various CBRNE sensor/scanner types.

We were bored, a lot. We had things to do, but those were keep-busy bullshit.

You know what's NOT bullshit? *Proving* that low sodium shoyu is just regular shoyu, but watered down. ::nods sagely::

Every piece of gear cost more than our salaries. Thanks, US taxpayers.
