Having an unfriendly flight! FAA banning MacBook Pro's
Text:
OK, so you arrive to the airport with a 2015 MacBook and the baggage checker asked you what year your system is and asks do you have proof the battery was replaced. You fumble not having any way to prove your battery is healthy.
The checker says you can’t board with it and you can’t check it either.
So now what to do?? Throw away your system, or rush back home to leave it, hopefully your friend who dropped you off is still around and you can just hand it to him to take care of it.
Sounds like fun ;-{
