Line would not be slow, line would stop.
I just counted my normal battery powered travel stash: NC headphone, camera, 3 flashlights(penlights if you must know, no Five D cell maglights
), 2 alarm clocks, cell phone, battery powered cell phone charger, watch = 10 battery devices IF I leave the laptop and CD player at home.
The average traveler must have about 5 BP devices with them.
Turn them all on? Gridlock at the checkpoint.
