TSA tells UK airport security: confiscate broken and out-of-battery gadgets

Some time ago I came up with the idea of Tranquility Airlines. Inject the passenger with a hypnotic, then load the sleepers into the planes, and handle them like cargo

Perhaps @MsScience has an alternate solution:

Consciousness on/off switch discovered

Doctors discovered that stimulating the claustrum with electrodes caused the patient’s consciousness to fade out, and return when stimulation ended. They performed a few tests to ensure it wasn’t just memory loss. Now, it’s just one patient (it’s not exactly common to stick electrodes that deep in the brain, and this is the first claustrum targeted). What I find interesting is that this was predicted by Francis Crick, who was working on a paper on this very possibility just before he passed away…

Just turn us off before takeoff…
