Reminds me of the story of someone who took a Linux laptop through security; they wanted to see it boot, but didn't recognize the command line and were suspicious.
The owner set PS1 to resemble a DOS shell prompt and they were satisfied.
- dehrmann 6y agoI remember flying with a bunch of hard drives out of SFO in 2002. I was a little worried security would get 9/11 worried about them. Maybe because it was SFO are are used to seeing tech people flying with odd stuff, they didn't care.
- lozaning 6y agoI worked in Mountain View and lived in Palm Springs for a while and used to commute back and forth through SFO/PSP. Im convinced you could take damn near anything through SFO tech wise, cause they've seen it all. Meanwhile explaining to the TSA people in Palm Springs why I've got 3 laptops, let alone 4 dozen cell phones was always a hassle and a half.
