LOL, actually I was much less likely to have lost it and woulda gotten it faster over to where I was headed than if I had used some gold overnight option from either UPS or Fedex...cause all I was doing was island hopping within Hawaii.
Basically, security, at least within Hawaii and flying around just the Hawaiian islands, was that people were "randomly selected" for a secondary stage of scanning just before getting onboard the plane, and that was where they did the full body sweep and really dug into your carry ons. I didn't get randomly selected...which makes me wonder if I couldn't have just stuffed the controller for my PSOne up with something, or my PSOne for that matter.
As BB says, they're being both thorough and not thorough enough at once.
That Palm situation reminds me of when I was leaving L.A. before 9/11...I had my E900 belted to me with a Servired case, and the security lady required me to open up the thing before she let me through. She saw the minidisc and said "cool" and let me through. So...wonder if you could make stuff small enough to plant into those MD remotes...those remotes even look like detonators.
The tighter the security, the more there'll be people out there that'll deliberately try to do stupid crap I think...kinda like drinking with youngsters. If it's forbidden it must be good stuff noh?
I wonder if there's any "constructive terrorists" as in how they have constructive hackers that are meant to test for security holes.
