In the commercial, airline security are giving the passinger grief about the new device that they haven't seen yet. "Is it a computer or a phone?" they ask.
It reminds me of the trouble I had with airport security back in 1984 when I carried a Compaq computer to Alaska. The Seattle airport didn't know what to make of it and wanted me to "open the case". It was a sealed unit with just the keyboard coming off at the bottom. It weighed almost 30 pounds and was hard to carry too!
You can read about the computer here: http://oldcomputers.net/compaqi.html. I did get it on the plane. I'm sure the new laptop weight much less than 30 pounds!
