What was it that kid said in "Sixth Sense"? Oh, yeah, I remember:
"I see dumb people..."

-- They don't care if you don't have any film for your cameras...Why would
anyone making those wages feel the need to develop some sort of case study
that hinges on the unfilmed photographer? They have no idea what a
Mini-Trekker is...Full or empty. One of our people had a digital camera's
car adapter come apart in her bag. The little glass fuse got loose and the
screener held it up. "What's this?" Our person is no mechanical genius,
didn't know it was a fuse, but knew that it wasn't anything harmful (we deal
in chemical and biological terrorism, bombs, and all sorts of really
irritating stuff). She pulled from thin air "That's the image tube for the
digital camera." Problem solved, and off to board the plane.
