No, no - that's different. Those warnings are protection against
liability, in case some idiot does use their hairdryer while asleep
(that would be quite a feat) and gets hurt.

Dell's WMD question is more like the questions they ask at the airport
when you're checking your bags. I don't see how those questions protect
the airline from lawsuits. I don't see how they protect anyone from
anything.

As hard as it is to believe every once in awhile they ask that question
and some idiot reaches under his jacket and asks if that means he can't
carry this on board. Happened about two months ago at a major airport.

Yesterday afternoon, Vernon had another brainfart and we went into Norwich
where he purchased himself a brand new lap top... As we were about to pay, I
said to the guy, "Aren't you going to ask any security questions, then?" He
looked puzzled so I told him of my adventures buying from Dell. He then fell
about laughing ;-)

On a related note, a friend of mine was stopped by a state trooper on
95 between Baltimore and Philadelphia and he actually asked her if
she had any weapons or any drugs or any anthrax in the car. Don't
you feel safer just knowing the state police are on the case? She
was headed to a landscape design class, you know the terrorist group?

I always do my weekly food shopping in Pattaya, a really sleazy
tourist town here in Thailand. But it's where the good stores are.
Anyway, there is a big Marriott hotel and attached to it is a mall
with underground parking. Ever since the Bali bombings, they walk
around your car with a mirror on a stick before you can enter the
underground parking. Probably because the Marriott is American and
they are worried about terrorism. But I have never actually seen the
guy look at the mirror as he walked around my car, he's always
checking out the chicks walking by. Then you have to open your trunk
and he looks inside. But I have a styrofoam cooler in there and they
never open that! I mean if I had a bomb in my trunk, I'd surely hide
it a bit (such as in the cooler) instead of having it lying around
openly in the trunk! I guess I wouldn't feel so put out by these
security measures if I actually felt as thought they were helping at
all.

In my experience, places where security is importent, i.e. military
establishments, have far worse security than a local supermarket.

For sure! Don't even get me started on the big, huge, gigantic military
base that's 10 km away from here. There is much US military activity going
on, as well as Thai, as well as the annual US/Thai training session called
Cobra Gold. Well, at this base the security is a total joke, even now in
scary times. When Dennis used to go in at 5 am for work, they would often
have to honk the horn to wake the security guard up and sometimes they would
decide to let him sleep and just drove around the gate! Then, once a year
they also have Family Day and all gates are wide open, no security at all
and everyone just drives right on in and parks wherever they want and
watches the planes and helicopters fly around. LOL! That would never
happen back home...
