And that's not even counting the "You must turn on your laptop" crap.
I just took my first flight with a laptop (USair), and, having heard stories like the above, was wondering how "on" the laptop would have to be (past the powerup password check? I hope they're not expecting Windoze...). My laptop was in my backpack, which I had oriented so that the large face of the laptop was vertical. It thus presented a very small cross section to their X-ray machine, and they didn't even ask me about it. - Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMsKMVkZRiTErSPb1AQFukgP/R7QUsLM0SaRKdvCCm0bsjwxXUOqUPwsK gfnEcMY+sO6crSq/vzNsK986aI7rJMjNC2rUHQqJAIAouSO7q3G/MjDSMCFjYIVs qi2AtXBw5/KV9eV/tKcrBXRjMlDOj2pitXEVIZVqNGONIxp6Vf/EyRlKKoH7E1Yt Wr7V2MwClSc= =UfKP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
