Agree, but back then they did not know enough to effectively inspect
the notebook computers via x-ray. and I think in the monochrome display
you cannot really much about the content of the batteries.
Now with the modern x-ray units, its much easy.
I recall a colleague of mime, back in 1990s got stuck at the airport
security and missed the flight because his notebook computer ran out
of the battery. he had to wait until it charged up and worked.
