The swab is then put into a sniffer which detects very minute traces of
explosives or drugs.

On my recent cross Canada trip I had my camera gear swabbed by the airport
security people after it had be through the x-ray machine. Unlike on
previous trips the people showed no interest in having me remove the lens
or in looking through the view finder. All they wanted to do was dab the
camera case and camera body itself with a small piece of white cloth
attached to the end of 12" wooden rod.
Any ideas whether this is a cleaning service for dirty cameras or whether
something more sinister is being probed for by the guardians of our
airline security system?
