I'm currently discussing whether eating uranium would allow it to pass through airport security unnoticed, or whether it would be detected by the security scanners. We're mainly disagreeing on how exactly these scanners work and what they respond to. What's your opinion? Can anyone help me?

Hello dear aviation community! I'm considering getting a UL license (SPL). On the one hand, I'm aware that flying isn't as expensive as I always thought (typical thinking: You have to be extremely rich and smart for it), but I'm still surprised that it's not nearly as much as I feared. However, I'm a student…
100kg is above the critical mass and the spontaneous decay of a uranium atom could theoretically trigger a nuclear chain reaction which would cause the block to explode, right?
I'm looking for affordable printer cartridges for the HP 7740. The original 953 cartridges are quite expensive. So I'm looking for alternatives. Thank you.
I am grateful for every answer!
Hi! I've been wondering why the oxygen masks on airplanes have a pouch. Thanks in advance for your answer.
No, the scanner wouldn’t start because first, the scanner can’t detect radioactive radiation and even if it could, it wouldn’t react. Uranium emits alpha radiation whose range is very short and would also be absorbed by the stomach wall, so that no radiation would come to the outside.
You’d be very fast.
