Electronics

The last time that I flew was something like a year and a half before September 11th and all of the heightened security. I had a camera with me and I had to turn it on and show that it worked, then they wiped it for traces of explosives. It was fine with me cause it was obviously just a camera, but I would hate to go without a battery or something. I honestly don't know if they will let you plug in a lap top to show that it works...same thing with cell phones. So I'm getting an extra battery before nationals for my phone, and bringing 2 sets for anything else that I might be bringing electronic. With the heightened security I just don't think it's worth risking it, especially when these people are just doing there jobs and trying to keep everyone safe.
