    I used to have a motorcycle that had a tendency to pop through the exhaust. I could normally manipulate the throttle to avoid that, but I wonder if it would trigger these detectors?

      If a firework can cause a false positive then I cannot imagine a world where it doesn’t.

        I’m honestly not sure how any listening device can reliably tell the difference between a firework, a firearm, or a backfire. And every time I read about it, there is more evidence that it won’t work.

          It can’t. That’s the problem with this unnecessary surveillance technology.
