Now that there are X-ray machines I don't get asked to turn on the machine
but still sometimes I do. So I always make sure the machine is just asleep
and not turned off.

Note: I almost always get asked to turn on my Palm. Also, I have a metal
case for the Palm and my last flight out of Providence the security dolt
tried to confiscate it. I guess he figured I was going to hide in the jet's
bathroom, sharpen an edge with toilet paper, and use it to hijack the plane
to Boise. Thankfully I was able to get his supervisor's attention and get
that rescinded.

I've found that the security people are paying attention and do a good job
of matching people to their belongings.

BTW - I now just routinely remove my belt and shoes, putting them in one of
the baskets along with everything else.

 debugging Windows.
