I've always wondered- how do those swab things work? I never knew they were used to detect for explosives. Are they supposed to pick up the powder or...?

I was drinking so I feel I was unnecessarily harsh. You are a good person and I wish that your seed propogates for generations.

Welp, you got me. My apologies.

Care to provide some fucking details?
