**Them:** Can you confirm you have no more than 15 personal electronic devices in your carry on?

**Me:** (*excitedly infodumping*) Well, it really depends what you consider to be a device. Many of these computers themselves contain multiple smaller computers. Consider these microSD cards (*waves a small anti-static bag around*), each of which has a tiny ARM processor - designed by a trans person from the BBC Micro team, if I might go off at a tangent for a moment. Or the battery controller chip on the LiPo pouch protection circuit, which significantly reduces the probability of a thermal excursion. And let's face it, nobody wants a spicy pillow in their lap at 30,000 feet-

**Them:** Just say yes. (*Pleadingly*) Just yes. That's all I'm asking. *I'm begging you.*
