It's good he didn't get pulled over.

  Yeah. Cops would have loved that. He'd be doing time. (sorry). Which would more than make up for the 20ns

  I know it was said in jest, and I know this ain't exactly Boston, but geeks do need to be mindful of this sort of thing. A bearded man in a minivan full of unrecognizable boxes and wires, the three largest of which have ominous red counting displays is going to trip the hero circuit on any passing nominally educated "authority". Worse still, using the word "atomic" anywhere in your explanation is practically a ticket to a very long and unpleasant trip through the system where you will get a new and terrible understanding of the concepts of ignorance and fear. I'm glad this worked out for him. The hotel employees (especially the one who actually went into his running car full of this stuff to get the keys and bring them to the front desk) must have been some kind of mellow. I would not be brave enough to try this stunt in todays climate.
