Not to be unsympathetic but when I'm at the airport my case never leaves my touch. Ever. When it's going through the Xray machine I ride with it. ;-) If I put the case down I always leave one foot touching it. Seriously. I always know where the case is. The fact that its a silver Zero Halliburton make it an easy target but also very easy to spot. On 9/11/03 8:26 AM, "Dr. Trevor J.
