Oh, I feel SO sorry for this guy... What idiot doesn't get to the airport at least 2 hours early because they know it's going to take forever to actually get through security and to your terminal? I don't believe they were looking at the laptop for 2 hours trying to figure out what it was. The guy was late getting to the airport, and wanted to blame someone else instead of saying "damn, I was late and I missed my flight." No, lets blame everyone else but yourself. Why do people have to blame everyone else when they do something wrong? Non story. I got mad at myself for wasting time reading it, and his stupid little "blog post" about it. What a moron...
I'm sure the guy enjoyed the wait until his new flight while sipping free drinks in the executive lounge. (He bought a $3000 computer, so I'm sure he was flying business and/or is a frequent flier.) As an added bonus, he doesn't need to worry about his 4 hour battery life, 'cause the lounge and airplane likely have a power port.

Yet you replied anyway.

not necessarily. i've gone without food so i can afford apple computers :(
Finally, someone who got the real story!
No way such a minor incident would have made him miss his flight. If it occurred at all, he missed his flight because he was late.
I find it hard to believe that any of this story is true. The MBA is not significantly different than any other computer from TSA's perspective.
Apple people sure do have to struggle for their superiority.
