It has always amused me that the airlines require you to turn on the mac to make sure it isn't a bomb. Gee. that really proves a lot, doesn't it. Consider this: Every mac in the non-modular series (including the SE/30) has had room for 1 or 2 internal hard drives mounted in various different ways other than the original apple mountings. If a person put that much plastique into the case, and was at least bright enough not to connect it to the Mac's power supply, it would definitely take out the plane. Remember the bomb that punched a large hole in the side of a plane-- that was a wallet or cigarrette sized bomb. Also, there is talk that the airlines are going to prohibit ALL electronic devices from the passenger area AND/OR cargo hold. bad deal. b.bum wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu
