I remember about 10 years ago Penn Jillette did a bit on the radio about the annoyances of airline security and that his solution was to have the “autoexec.bat” of the computer say “10 …. 9 … 8 …”.
I suspect that since airline security is so much tighter since then, he probably doesn’t pull this trick anymore.
