iBook & travel

[Joan Keenan]

Hi,
Just curious as to whether sleep counts as not using your computer on 
an airplane. It seems that everytime I travel at least one check point 
decides that I must start up the computer to check it. Of course with 
OSX this takes about 2 minutes so I am stuck standing there and then 
need to shut down. I have been shutting down before boarding. I 
normally just put it to sleep when taking it to work.
Thanks

Joan
