Poor kid. I can just imagine that he was all excited then ends up in the lockup. And so sad that they don't recognise some real talent which rather than encouraging do the exact opposite. I carry so much stuff on the plane with me that if they ever looked, and to the untrained eye would think i was up to no good. I regularly carried an NTP sync'ed analogue clock back and forth that I am sure they would have had kittens over if they ever saw. So so sad.
