This somehow reminds me of how internet charges used to be - charge per the minute of dial up access. Sigh.

Another nod to Zydepunks if you like Gogol Bordello. Not as spastic but similar musically. (They play in the Hattiesburg, MS area a whole lot these days. College town like this eats them up.)

I went through an Amtrack/multi station in the NY area last month and they were definitely doing this already.

I just flew from Jackson to Newark last month. They both required laptops to be removed from cases and put in a separate bin, but no other electronic devices. And YES it was definitely slowing the lines...

I wanted to start reading the discworld books once and picked up a used copy at a local bookstore. A friend yelled "YOU CAN NOT READ THEM OUT OF ORDER!" and I've been afraid to pick them back up ever since.

This chart gives me hope again.
