The way the TSA goes nuts over laptops and other electronics, you'd think we live in a third world country where these items are a rarity.

I recently flew LHR-SAN on BA then SAN-LAX on American Eagle with an eight-foot length of Cat-5 in my carry on; I travelled the day the US went to 'orange alert' and endured the full-on treatment from the security guys at SAN on the second leg; including removing shoes, belt etc., full search of all my carry-on including going through my briefcase, swabbing my laptop for explosives, booting the laptop, looking under my watch strap (???) and absolutely no comment was raised about the cable.
So I'd assume it was OK :-)</font>
