does one of them get you hold up as well? It of course also only having an SSD and no ports in the back.

If not, then i guess we know why they are REALLY holding up the line.
Are they haven't internet there in the airport? Just ask the passanger what is that. Oh a macbook air, googling for the review oh hardware site. And then match the picture or something else. Or at least they can check (I don't know about apple, but DELL have) service tag to make sure it real.
Bwahaha, brilliant. 

If it were a bomb, it would be 100% more useful. 

Get yourself a ThinkPad X300 if you really need ultraportability - it has an SSD, WiFi-N, a DVD-RW, ULV CPU, replaceable battery, upgradeable RAM and holy crap *3* USB ports... 

It's what the Air should have been, minus the preinstalled smugware.
The people who are buying a mac book aren't the brightest of a bunch, heck they are simply fanboys. I very much doubt they know what a solid state drive is.
Actually, from a certain perspective, the fruity-themed Air IS a bomb. Certainly should be considered a commercial failure. Only Apple would come out with an underpowered, underperforming POC like the Air, and only the slavish, boot-licking devotees of Steve the Almighty would even consider throwing gobs of (useless) U.S. dollars away for the "priviledge" of owning one of those gobstoppers.
I guess Mac Envy doesn't get any more painful than this.

Couldn't they just try turning it on?

"Apple case" - don't you mean a manila envelope?
Consider mailing it to yourself.
No ports on an Air? In an Airport?

What do you expect?

Just mail it then....in one of those manilla envelopes...

Seems to me that security gaurds have the same sense that (almost) everyone in the market does: WTF IS THIS AND WHY DOES IT HAVE SO FEW FEATURES!?
Go out and find some really interesting news, please...
I think we should have innovated dishwashers a bit more so more people would get used to innovation.
