I don't think anyone outside MR and the geek community really gives a crap. If this were Paris or Lindsay they would, but I doubt this will even get mentioned.
and, of course, with his sense of entitlement, Jobs thinks he is above the law and airport security procedure....
Wonder if Steve was secretly one of the ninjas in the Total Eclipse of the Heart video? We love the "literal" version:

I think he wanted to test out a new form of discipilinary action on his unruly (anyone who disagrees) employees.
And yet you took the time to comment on it. By the way you're sounding I'd expect that you've been coming here since the beginning, but instead I was shocked to see that it's been a whopping 3 yrs.
No. As it's been said - the airport in question only has one general security area. So security was doing THEIR JOB. And if you were at the airport and knew someone was carrying contraband - you'd care. You'd care a lot. It's easy to sit in your chair from a distance with your total love for Apple and Jobs and point the finger elsewhere though, isn't it?
Unrelated (mostly) but I had a woman at a supermarket profusely apologize to me because she asked to see my driver's license when I used my credit card. She examined it closely and then said that she was very sorry to have to do that. I smiled at her and told her she should never apologize for doing her job and making sure someone is who they say they are. Apparently there are jerks who give her a hard time about this. Makes NO sense.
And as for the first comment I quoted above. No. YOU might know what you're buying. Don't project what you know on the millions of people who just buy iPhones because it's the newest gadget who have NO idea what they are getting themselves into. Who don't know how to sync to their computer. Who don't use 1/100th of what the iPhone can do. Who have never bought an app, and so on. And it's naive to think that there aren't people like this. There are. Thousands of them.
I think I would be a little ticked off too, but its not Japan's fault, its the airport security rules.
he should have just gone back, checked them in, thanked them for their time and moved on.
I am sure this was for one of his teenage kids and not for personal use. He is a buddist after all. After his horrific disease i am glad he takes some time with his family to see the world. Kyoto is after all a great place. And hopefully he'll come back refreshed and will sort out the increasingly amount of ''mistakes'' coming from the Apple firm and gives us nice new gadgets we didn't know we needed.
The man sounds like a three year old having a temper tantrum. Nice to know that the Japanese airport security aren't afraid to do their jobs!
