I've had to set my system up on the floor 10 or 15 feet away from the
security station more than once in order to find a reachable plug.
The really 'fun' experience I had was when I was carrying a Toshiba
T1200 back from Dallas and had inadvertently drained the battery.
Good thing I had the AC power pack in my carry-on bag!  (This was last
September, when security was REAL tight.)
