Well that was a first. Going through security at DTW with precheck I was randomly pulled aside at the metal detector for extra screening.

They asked me to get my phone out of my bag which had already been x-rayed, ran an explosive swab over it, then sent me on my way.

When they asked me to pull out my phone I thought it was some kind of data collection or pwnage program but all they did was swab it.

Very curious what the reasoning is here. Either cellebrite has got 100x better and faster and can wirelessly pwn a phone with NFC and BT and wifi disabled in a second or two using an antenna disguised as a swab, or they're actually swabbing phones.
