Bertini's theorem for $F$-rationality is false

Let $k=\overline{\mathbb{F}_2}$. We construct a nine-dimensional $F$-rational affine variety $X$ admitting a locally closed embedding $X\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}_k^{19}$ together with a dense open set $U\subseteq (\mathbb{P}^{19})^\vee$ such that $X\cap H$ is not $F$-rational (or even $F$-injective) for all $H\in U$....
