There certainly was one at the security station that wanted to check out the little immersion heater I carry for boiling water to brew tea in motels in strange towns -- when I pointed out that the heater would quickly self-destruct if it were not immersed in water while plugged in, the agent concerned with me had a colleague dutifully fetch some water, too. There's no end of conveniences available at those stations :-) . Fred or
