If you have a laptop that is non-conventional (I used to have a 17 in
white-box long before there were 16 in devices; currently have a 19 in white
box), in the smaller cities, some jackasses are tempted to OPEN THEM UP. I
have had a knock-down drag out with these poorly trained excuses more than I
care to mention.
The problem is when you provide power without knowledge and training to the
technologically obtuse, problems result. (Hmm, might explain some of the
problems with various government initiatives, not just the mis-named TSA).

Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Laptops and current TSA procedures
I am not aware of anyone being asked to turn on their laptops these days
(including myself). The only requirement is that you must remove the
laptop
from its case and place it in one of those bins that goes through the
x-ray.
I've never understood why they must be removed from their carrying cases,
and
no one has been able to explain it to me, but it's a simple process to
follow.
