It got hit by lightning about a month back & I guess I'm the only one who can read a schematic, or something. I don't really want to, but its a nice paycheck too. The worst is that the airlines and the terminals neither one carry the sort of foods a diabetic needs, so its often a damned long hungry day by the time I get there, or back. I buy a bag of nuts occasionally, but then have to have the salesgirl cut the bag open cause they make the bags out of kevlar or something equally un-rippable. Friggin PITA is what it is. And then they call me over to the x-ray machine and ask whats that. Its just my 100mhz dual trace scope, snuggled into a stack of clothes in a large bag, or a box with my suture clamp collection, diagonal cutters, solder, a few screwdrivers and a soldering station, whats the problem here anyway. Didja never see a working engineers tools? Sorta like Duh... But I can't think of a reason why they would want to email me in the first place. I've flown with that toolkit in the luggage several times now. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Gene Heskett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> On Friday 12 August 2005 17:34, Faisal N Jawdat wrote: >>>TSA wants people to turn off their spam filters: >>> >>>http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/08/tsa_and_spam.html >> >> Ya gotta be kidding.
