Well, that’s awfully nice. Your shoes are still a tremendous threat. Your bottle of conditioner still places everyone on high alert. But that new ultra-light computer you bought? Just leave it in there with the underwear and have a nice day. That’s according to the TSA. It has to do not just with the machine being light but also the lack of disc drives.
