Why is there no face-palm smilie available?
As I have noted on FT even more than a decade ago, stacks of some types of coated printed paper in magazine or book form can create black/opaque spots for various X-ray machines used by airport screeners. This isn't really unique to leaving AUS or SXSW attendees.

If ETD is being triggered, something else is going wrong.
