Somewhere at the French-Swiss border.

French border agent:
Excuse me sir, what is in the truck? Do you have anything to declare?

Truck driver: Just a cloud of 92 #antiprotons in an innovative portable cryogenic Penning trap.

French border agent: 🫠 🫠 🫠 I'm sorry, I think I owe you some money or something. I don't have the right form to deal with antimatter.

All I want for Christmas is a long-range A380-like aircraft powered by antimatter.

Too many wars have been fought over earth-destroying dinosaur juice.

@fj you can pay the duties on antimatter with antimony

[nuthatch@infosec.exchange]

@fj appreciate them explaining their work in English. They’re so excited!

[fj@mastodon.social]

@nuthatch CERN has two official working languages: English and French.

And in practice on scientific matters, English is the leading language. Birth place of the Web too!

@fj CERN can just smuggle anything through their own cross-border tunnel network no?

[bruienne@infosec.exchange]

@fj And they said there were no plausible plots left for the Fast and Furious franchise!

Get in loser, we're going antimatter transport heisting!

[cynicalsecurity@bsd.network]

@jeroen "actually" the tunnel is strictly monitored and does not link the two CERN sites… been there, done that, seen the film. @fj

@fj Where is good ol U235 in this graph?

[wklj@mastodon.social]

@fj Sounds like you're throwing a Hail Mary.

@fj if only antimatter can energy efficient be created...

[http@infosec.exchange]

@fj Considering that they only have 92 anti-protons in their jar ... how much would it cost to fuel an airplane? And what would be the weight, including their traps?
