[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] Ahem. Daniel Butler only mentioned that he checked in a computer. I was assuming that is what he talked about. The reference to the laptop was to an incident I know of involves a friend of mine who was told to check his carry-on, which included a laptop, as luggage. This was on a return flight from Atlanta to Toronto. She was assured that it would be okay..... ..... that is, until she received her carry on at her destination which the laptop all damaged up, with a note saying that "This electronic device was inspected by the [insert whatever agency here]. We do not assume any responsibility for any damages arising from the inspection". Inspecting the damage, it looks like the numbskulls-of-security-agents did not know how to open the laptop (you have to push a button for the laptop to open, not slide a lock) so they used a crowbar to "open it up". I've also run into that problem in which said agents tampered with said electrical device causing it to not function. Which provides a lesson for me: whatever sensitive stuff that I need to ship, make sure that it does not pass through the U.S. These agencies have apparently been getting employees from the Darwin Awards pool.
