WhatÂ’s funnier that having someone search your bag before getting on a NYC subway? How about being searched because you have wires on your chest than lead to a small black box on your belt while you are trying to get on the subway?
A friend just emailed this picture of himself with a portable Holter EKG that is monitoring his heartbeat. He uses the subway and NJTransit to and from Manhattan.
Brown – check.
5 o’clock shadow – check.
Visible Wires – check
Something box-like on your belt – check.
Dude youÂ’re getting sent to Gitmo!
nice body your friend has. which way does he swing? 😉
If a 75 year old U.S Senator has been searched because his steel hip joint set of metal detectors, or an 85 year World War II veteran’s Medal Of Honor made airport security nervous, I wouldn’t be too surprised if this guy got searched too. He had better carry some form of medical card explaining what he is wearing. Though I doubt that will make it any easier these days.
My fear would be of getting shot 🙁
that is a REALLY large picture of a man’s bare chest that just opened up on my work computer 😉
post more, maybe they’ll fire me
I used to work for a lab, analyzing EKG tapes…I wonder how they’re going to read this one, especially when he was being questioned 😉
I can just see the write-up now : young healthy male suffered a singular incongruous episode of atrial fibrillation at approx 3 hrs into the recording. Further arrhythmic episodes might preclude subject from participating in this study.
Back to white males for test subjects!
Did the cops let him go? How does this story end?!
i’m the guy in the pic that turbanhead posted, i haven’t been questioned yet, or searched. but we were just laughing about how i’m screwed when i go home tonight. 🙂
i asked some cops about it and they told me ‘if someone asks, just be calm, don’t run… oh yeah and don’t wear a backpack’
they added the backpack comment after i got them to admit that i really do fit the profile. they were cool about it though.
oh sorry! I assumed you were stopped by the police. Good to know that they were more understanding than suspicious about it when you asked.
come on man! Are you really going to take a chance with that thing? Well, be very careful!
Nice body – check.
Is it just me or is the dude above gesturing something with his fingers while holding his shirt open? Gotta be street through illness and government searches, I suppose.
brownheartdude- Why do you need continous monitoring? i hope your heart is ok!
