   How fun! Once, after climbing around in a dusty old church attic like this, I had to head straight to the airport for a flight. Barely made it on because something in the dust kept flagging as dangerous. They were using a test strip on my backpack and clothing and analyzing it in some kind of machine. Stressful as I was already pressed for time! Finally got a clean test and they let me through.

      Is the solution to a positive swab really to keep swabbing until negative?

         In my experience if they test positive the tech will stop and wipe down the machine before trying again. They're highly prone to false positives.
