I was very confused how she would pass a bowl of unidentified ash from the airport security (we only had a backpack each). She drafted a poorly done and obviously fake death certificate. It was not campfire ash anymore, it was the remains of her father.
The people at the airport were visibly awkward, they tried to be as accommodating as they could. She flew back home with a plastic bowl of ashes from our campfire, it even had some parts of birch and branches.
Airport security was easily fooled. And the author's mom is easily fooled too, motherly instincts be damned. Would a neural net be fooled by the author's attempts? I know for sure that an automated security system would sound the alarm on my friend. I 'd like to see adversarial networks fighting each other on such premises. A son network trying to fool the mother network and vice versa ad infinitum, at least 1 billion of simulation hours in. What kind of wonders would come out
