The Transportation Security Administration is understandably jumpy about what gets through its gates these days. The agency has especially been keeping an eye out for bottles of water, senators from Massachusetts, and the guy who wrote "Peace Train."
Now you can add Apple's latest laptop to the list. In spite of its particularly buoyant name, the Air stood out to a few TSA employees, who seemed disturbed by the notebook's "lack of a drive" and "ports on the back," according to Engadget.
The MacBook Air eventually attracted a swarm of other security workers, causing its owner to miss his flight. I'm guessing there were a few Lenovo fans in that crowd.

Really, TSA? Really?
I mean honestly?
Do we need infographics?

Does it surprise anyone? The TSA is staffed by the low end of the IQ range. I get stopped every time I fly for more attention. Why? I'm not of Middle Eastern descent, I'm not dark skinned, I dress well, I'm always flying round trip and do all the things you're suppsed to do. Why do I get stopped?
Because I have a non-standard beard. That's all I can figure. I don't shave like everyone else, and it scares the tiny brains behind the dull eyes at the checkpoint. It's a bit tiresome, to be honest.
