    Lotsa Luck going through security at an airport.

    Probably best to wait a while and make certain the battery does't catch fire or explode. You wouldn't want to be arrested on Terrorism Charges and be labeled as the "Levis Exploding Jacket Suicide Bomber."

    Every time i see one of these gadgets come out, i think to myself "laziness, has just breached a whole new level".... I guess i must be getting old, as i just do not see the point in devices like these.
