I had briefly thought about stopping by the local airport to see if I could
trigger a security checkpoint alarm via gamma decay.  But I doubt that the TSA
workers would find much amusement in that.

Hah!  It's even worse for me as I have to think up this stuff.

I'd suggest leaving it at home.  I've found the hospital staff are overly
apprehensive about non-hospital electronic gear, fearing radio frequency
interference from substandard consumer grade products.  Also, I doubt if they'll
supply Internet connectivity.  When I'm in their clutches for testing and
treatment, I bring only a spiral bound (paper) notebook and a pen to jot down my
ideas.

And I need new batteries for my Mac laptops anyway.  I recall that a number of
CCC posters have a wager with me to supply said batteries if and when Symbolic
passes certain milestones.  This could happen by the end of the year if I'm
lucky.
