HOW OUT OF TOUCH ARE THESE PEOPLE? Airport security panicked by a Macbook Air. It can’t be a real computer — it doesn’t have a disk drive! And it’s too thin!
UPDATE: Reader Sean Kerwin looks at the bright side:
The geekier corners of the bloghedron have been buzzing about the MacBook Air / TSA kerfuffle for the last day or so, and so far it’s all been laughing at the clueless security folks. My take is that that’s not very fair, and this is story is in many respects a positive sign. Think about it — not only does it prove that (some) inspectors are actually looking at the x-rays, it shows that they’re even sufficiently on-the-ball to notice that this computer doesn’t have a hard drive.
Well, that’s kind of positive, I guess.
