Indeed, I would rather remove the diatium power cell than mess with the alignment of the kyber, that seems above my capabilities. Perhaps I can charge the diatium power cell with my USB cable while on board? I may need an adapter.
He clearly is a support R2 unit, and not just emotional. He is also a great cook and doubles as an alarm clock. He is also a much more apt handyman than me, perhaps he should remove diatium power cell, if not the primary kyber crystal. Alas, convincing the humourless security staffers of my need for R2’s support may prove hard.
You can’t fool ever-vigilant TSA agents! In Dave Barry’s first novel, Big Trouble (which may or may not be a work of fiction) the protagonist tries to get a suitcase-sized nuclear bomb past TSA and onto a plane. Seeing all the buttons and dials, and following standard procedure, the TSA agent demands that he “turn it on” to make sure that it’s functional and not just a fake cover to hide something bad.
Right, thanks, I should have just said “airport security” instead of TSA. In any case, Dave Barry was mocking the security protocol back then that anything that resembled an electronic device like a cell phone or a laptop needed to be turned on to demonstrate that it was real before security would allow it through.
Also thanks for that Carlin clip. Love the guy. I’m going to have to watch some of my Carlin archives now!
“Guys in combat fatigues talking to God on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment!”
If only he knew how right he eventually turned out to be.
Measures must be taken to prevent unintentional activation of the heating element while on board the aircraft. Examples of effective measures to prevent unintentional activation include, but are not limited to: removing the battery from the lighter; placing the lighter into a protective case; and/or using a protective cover, safety latch, or locking device on the lighter’s activation button.
What about putting on a cheap plastic housing, putting a glass lens on the front, and just claiming its a flashlight.
Then maybe buy some high-end maglites, crazy-glue some shiny doo-dads on them, and put it in a suitcase with foam-carved padding in it, display them prettily, and claim you are taking your sample case to Tatooine for a trade show?
Have you measured the buzz frequency? The Germans are sticklers for standards, and if it doesn’t meet them (for example if it’s a 60Hz lightsaber), you won’t be allowed to use it there.
