Sigh.

I wasn't making excuses for them. So why take out your TSA frustration on me?

I have traveled thru 19 countries and dealt with strict customs. China, Egypt, Israel, Japan, more. Hand checks, etc.

I too have been harassed by TSA. (I was driving. Rude comments. Everything opened and left scattered on the back seat. Laptop and car registration dumped on the floorboard. Had to find my passport. To say I was peeved is an understatement.) The airport TSA are relatively polite.

In my job, I always had too many things for carry on anyway. (Toolbox, spare parts, clothing, etc.)

Advantages of flash...

Single chip solution - the microcontroller has flash built into it. The chip makers are using flash for microcontrollers because they only need to design one set of masks. FWIW, a chip rep once told me that the combination of voltage and reduced feature size means the older technologies wont work.

QOTD: I've heard about civil Engineers, but I've never met one.

Working...
