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. > Sometimes i wonder what i'm missing by never having gone to college... i went to college for 5.5 years. my biggest accomplishment was extreme proficieny at super mario kart. =jay
