  • Oh, we’re past that. In 2022 they made restrictions on wood cutting more lax, allowing felling of trees in previously protected areas. It caused pretty bad health issues in the winter in smaller towns, especially in valleys where the chimney smoke can’t even leave the area.

    So way into the 21st century, the government actually promoted heating with wood (partly from previously protected areas), and the next year when solar power gained some popularity, they made it harder and more expensive/less profitable to install solar panels and connect them to the grid. All this shortly after their propaganda slogan “Hungary is going forward, not backward”.

    I’ve watched a video about this recently. The problem is, most detectors were based on X-rays in the past decades. Liquid explosives are pretty close to the density (and/or other properties) of water, and you can’t tell for sure whether there’s toothpaste or boom juice in that tube.

    However, some airports started using expensive MRI MRI like X-ray* machines that can see stuff in more detail, plus, it lets you to make cross sections from different angles and therefore have a 3D model that you can rotate on your screen (it’s rather cool).

    EDIT: I just realised someone else linked this, too. I would leave it here, it’s still educational.
