The Custom Officials (Aduana) in South American ports have not earned much if any trust from travelers. And Miami, of all places, has one of the worst reputations for baggages being opened and Customs people treating themselves to early Christmas presents. We have had poles/or crowbars rammed down through one piece, in the past.

hey anything is possible, dude. I keep my bunker well stocked with hurricane supplies, very little ammo nowadays...cantthinkofone said:Have you cleaned out your bunker too? The one you build in the 60s when the commies were going to invade, to make ready when terrorists strapped with ibooks and powerbooks start raining out of the sky shouting "God is great" in Arabic?
Umm, that doesn't make sense.Yesterday, Qantas said that Dell notebook users could only use their laptop on a plane on battery power, or with the battery removed and the unit plugged into the power outlet in first or business class.

Simple-Show the laptop--is it a iBook 12'' or PB 12'' or 15''.. if it is have them check the serial numbers of the battery. For the 17'' PowerBook, MacBook and MBP, its not hard to check if its one if them.
17''PB- It has a 17'' screen
17''MBP-17'' screen and the IR port also says MacBook Pro on it
15'' MBP IR port, and say MacBook Pro on it
MacBook-13'' Magsafe port, keyboard change, and Says MacBook on it
Just make a checklist of how to tell if its on the the effected laptops, and then check those battery's
That not hard
