When forced to leave my house for an extended period of time, I take my typewriter with me, and together we endure the wretchedness of passing through the X-ray scanner. The laptops roll merrily down the belt, while Im instructed to stand aside and open my bag. To me it seems like a normal enough thing to be carrying, but the typewriters declining popularity arouses suspicion and I wind up eliciting the sort of reaction one might expect when traveling with a cannon.Its a typewriter, I say. You use it to write angry letters to airport security.
