Bill,
All US domestic airport security check points must first check for signs of
tampering before requesting you turn on your device. Has anyone seen this?
Demonstrating boot-up simply proves that one has a battery capable of
setting off a bomb. It is harassment, pure and simple, proves nothing.
Airport security sucks, it's a joke from the state of, "we don't believe in
evolution" idiots residing in Kansas, the fossilized state of "Liza Dole",
the idiot of the twentieth century.
