Don't expect it to get any easier. As those of us who used to be
in the news biz love to say, this just in:
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Homeland Security officials have told CNN
that an advisory will be issued directing the aviation industry
and all federal screeners and local authorities to pay particular
attention to electronic items like remote key locks, and specific
brands and models of cell phones, boom boxes and cameras.
"Recent raids of al Qaeda safe houses overseas turned up evidence
that the group was trying to modified electronic devices to carry
small weapons or explosives, administration officials told CNN.
For instance, a camera flash was being modified to convert to, or
carry, a stun gun, the officials said."

firma. (The more the firma, the less the terra.)
