This might be just the thing for people who suffer from the nasty dried-out air on planes. Good luck getting it through security.

Plug something full of water into my laptop. What's wrong with this picture?

I seriously doubt if more than a micro amount of water would be vaporized by a low power USB connection (assume 2-3 watt) and it would be rapidly dispersed all over the cabin because of the low RH. For the same reasoning the cup thingee "sweater" would probably work almost as well plugged in or not plugged.

You won't have a problem getting it through security. Just stuff it in your laptop bag with the other cables and wires and watch the screener zone out as it passes through!
