I really don't know how to feel about this, whether to shriek about DHS and TSA and the new bureaucratic nanny state (your papers, please) or to applaud what's his name, Kip Hawley (or current TSA head) for their openness and humanity.

Upvote for bureaucratic sensicality. Amazing.

This made me feel like it was my first day at a really boring TSA job.

We debated this Macbook Air thingy at work today... we're all apple people and we figgered we'd have this accidently snapped in half in about a month. Bring back the Newton.

Okay, a downvote and here's why: this boob actually means to tell me that the layouts of an average laptop vs a macbook air is sensitive security information? Puh-leeze.

I'll try and remember that the next time I open either type of laptop....or just when I happen to glance at a screen in the next line at the airport security queue while I'm waiting for the snickering teenage wand-wavers to get their weak-assed shit together.

But wait, they're.....different inside???????? No.....HOLY CARP!

I dunno schmawy, you say "openess and humanity", I say "patronizing, self-aggrandizing, alarmist bullshit". To-mae-to to-mah-to

Yeah, like I said, I'm not sure how I feel about it. This whole TSA thing feels like "security theater" to me, more intended to keep us scared than keep us safe.
