If there's an unattended bag lying around somewhere, and you suspect that it could contain explosives (and in Israel you would, for good reasons), carrying it to an x-ray machine is a risky and stupid idea. A metal detector will only tell you there's metal in there somewhere, useful for checking on a person for guns or knives, not on a bag.
Leaving a bag containing a laptop unattended is stupid anyway because someone might steal it. She may have misunderstood when she thought she was supposed to leave it there.
[citation][nom]fwupow[/nom]What a wonderful world! How anyone can actually look at the state of human existence on this planet and then turn around and ridicule others for turning to religion and God in a hope for something better is beyond me.[/citation]
Not to offend any peaceful religious people out there of any religion, isn't turning to god and religion what got us into this mess in the first place?
