Luckily, I am always comforted by carrying my small steam engine on my lap.

In the past, TSA required the customer prove a carry-on laptop powers up but this caused long lines so they stopped the practice.

Couldn't we just disband the TSA instead?

So, only a fool checks their laptop, but they don’t allow it on the plane as carry-on?

Looks like it’s time to buy stock in Dagney Taggart’s railroad.

Life imitates art...

Again... We keep conforming in altering the ways of our lives because of a few.

another of the thousands of small oppressions, fees, and tyrannies we face to pay for our masters’ obsession with “multiculturalism.”

While that will be annoying, it makes sense. Most people have no idea about the amount of energy stored in typical laptop batteries. It is a LOT.

Now, you should see tier faces, and hear the questions the ask,

when they see my 3 3/4" long x 1 3/4" wide x 3/4" thick "Man Cell Phone" in a velcro belt pack.

It’s so much safer to put them into checked baggage because the batteries will cause them to burn before the terrorist can detonate them.

Or, another idea:
Wipe out all terrorists everywhere immediately.
Forever.

Pretty soon, to avoid the risk of terrorists on board planes, passengers will be banned.
