Even a few months after 9/11 I never had any problems.
I have had several nice guards explain to me that the need to see this
thing called the "B-I-O-S" when they press the power button. Once
they see it, they can do this really cool trick - they hold down the
power button and it turns the computer off! And it didn't even hurt
my "windows" because it was turned off during the "B-I-O-S" phase.
Since 2003 I don't think they've even turned on my computer.
