Hi Sig; Re: "So if a suitcase is hot to the touch, or has a running fan inside then the passenger should turned away from the airline gate ? Neat."

That's the real reason the airlines won't allow you to run your laptop computer while the plane is close to the ground: They don't want a highly radioactive ground burst to result when it turns out that someone has replaced your Dell Paragon 2200 with a suitcase nuke.
