I have a theory about the TSA: these are the same people who would have been pumping gas 15 years ago.

According to Engadget, a Transportation Security Administration employee apparently held blogger Michael Nygard's MacBook Air after removing it from the scanner, pulled it aside and began to ask the owner questions about the unit.

The TSA employee, flabbergasted by the "lack of a drive" and the complete absence of "ports on the back", was then aided by co-workers who swarmed to investigate. The MacBook Air's owner missed the flight, which took off on schedule, but was eventually allowed to pass through security after the colleagues explained to the first TSA employee what the MacBook Air was.

Let us know what you think over in the comments or forums.
