Decay On Net

This news article caught my attention.

A Lenovo ThinkPad T43 notebook computer overheated and began smoking and sparking on September 16 at Los Angeles International Airport, but no one was injured, a Lenovo spokesman in Tokyo said. It was not yet clear what caused the malfunction.

Exploding battery..... I thought only dell laptop battery explodes. IBM thinkpad also?

Wait a minute! Isn't that the same model that I'm using? IBM Thinkpad T43. OMG. I'm walking with a highly explosive device in my backpack. So are we still allow to carry this highly dangerous weapon and board the MRT train? Hmmm....

Wonder if this scenario will ever happen.

-----------------
Security personnel: Excuse me Sir, what do you have in your backpack?
Me: Laptop.
Security personnel: What model is your laptop?
Me: IBM T43. :D
Security personnel: IBM T43?!?!?!?!
**Security personnel takes a few step back and point his finger at me**
Security personnel: PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR HEAD AND FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR! DON'T MOVE!!
Security personnel: **Speaking on walkie talkie** All station, all station! We need backup. Suspect carrying highly explosive IBM T43 laptop and attempting to board MRT. We need reinforcement now!!
**I'm in deep trouble**

Ok, I think too much already.
