[Ti] AlBook Plug problem at high altitude?

[JFL]

Hmmm... This only happens to me when I walk past and trip on the power 
cord! Seriously, it looks like the AC adapter has a mini-stereo-like 
plug, so unless your iPod or CD player's headphone plugs are also 
popping out...

Maybe it's the friction. I wonder just how much does the friction of the 
metal ring around the plug on an AC cord play into holding the thing in 
place? It definitely has to contact part of the AC power port otherwise 
it doesn't make a circuit.

Advance the plug in slowly. Does the plug go in with some resistance? 
Any faint palpable click? When you twirl the plug while it's in place, 
do you feel any resistance?
