I wonder how much Apple PR paid for this blog-plant?

I've seen live performances of the opening ape scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey" diligently executed by the TSA goons at airports when faced with technology they are not familiar with. "Chimps in Pants" indeed.

I had a difficult time reading his blog .. it was like 3 pages of romance novel writing about his fancy new mac book air.

I've been stopped multiple times with multiple laptops.. typically because I was red binned for buying the tickets the same day I was going to fly.. and they've done all sorts of tests on my laptops with things that look like oxy pads, and partical sniffers.. and I never once was held up more than 10 minutes and I always arive to the airport last minute..

I find it hard to believe he actually missed his plane strictly due to the laptop issue.

Boo flippin hoo. Why was this idiot standing in the security line that soon before his flight was to take off? They board at least 15-20 min before takeoff. No mention of running late that day or long lines at security. In fact, he got to use the frequent flyer line.

If he'd missed his flight while still in the security area that means that, easily, he'd entered the security area around the time they were boarding.

For the sake of the other people on the plane who made sure to get to airport early, I'm glad this dumbass missed his flight.
