MacBook Air causes man to miss flight  |
|
 Chalk this up for idiots who do airport screening, I guess they will need to take classes on latest technology

>The MacBook Air's thin design is causing some confusion for the technically ignorant, according to one blogger who says that the ultra-portable caused him to miss his flight. When going through the TSA airport security checkpoint, blogger Michael Nygard was held up as security staff gathered around his MacBook Air, trying to make sense of the slender laptop. One of the less technically knowledgeable staff points out the lack of standard features as cause for alarm. <
I feel so bad for the guy because by the time someone pointed it out to them that it was a computer, and that he got the idea of a portable flash drive, and the security finally let him through the gate, he had to go back to the counter to rebook his flight.
How would you feel if you missed your flight due to security that did not know what a MacBook Air was?
Mooch

| 3. winterose (17615) | 2 years ago |  I would be as mad as heck, but I wouldn't be dead on the plane if that thing that they did not know what it was was a bomb,
they were doing there job, some may argue they could have done it better by knowing what it was, I don't know one person that knows every new product on the market.

5.  Thoroughrob (7806) | 2 years ago |  I would be furious. I cannot imagine. You would think that someone in security would know what is going on. It is sad.

| 6. mummymo (11642) | 2 years ago |  Well D'uh! A few weeks ago a reporter manages to get through 7 security airport checks with a gun and here there is a man with an air book that has been extensively advertised and he gets stopped? I guess it is good they are taking security seriously but please? xxx

7.  ryantakyan (142) | 2 years ago |  This one made me laugh a bit when I read the news. The TSA airport security badly need to update their knowledge on technology so they don't get involved in things like this again. But at least the level of their security is high, but it just got way too high.
