dude!  on my way to new york they just shoveled me past security.
all i had to do was take out my laptop and pass it through the x-ray
machine seperately.  i forgot to take off my watch (made of titanium)
and sunglasses (titanium frame) when i walked through the metal detector
and the damn thing didn't even make a sound.  my theory is that all the
sushi i eat has built up unbelievable amounts of mercury in my body which
is somehow working with my mutant X power to generate metal detector
defeating EM fields.  yeah, theory needs work.  shut up.

oh, i was also disturbed by the fact that i had tons of electronic
equipment in my bag, none of which was inspected aside from the cursory
x-ray scan.
