MacBook Air Scanned for TSA Blog

Remember when the TSA had their big snafu about not letting a MacBook Air through security?

The official guess from the TSA blog was that the MacBook probably didn’t make it through because it looked significantly different under an X-ray than any “normal” laptop. Screeners are trained to look for irregularities in objects, since that’s usually when something nefarious is going on.

It looks like the folks over at the blog recently got their hands on an actual MacBook Air and ran it through a machine to see if their theory was correct — it looks as though they were right.
