OK, fine, you got the seat in the airport terminal right next to the outlets. It’s your right to use one. But you plug that external hard drive into the second outlet and one of us isn’t getting on that plane alive.

If you just have to plug in multiple devices while you’re waiting for boarding call, you damn well better have one of these Philips 3-Outlet Travel Power Strips. It packs up nice and compact, it’s got a 10-foot cord, and there’s simply no reason why a volt-hog like you shouldn’t have one in your carry-on. Someday, these old legacy airports will fade away and every new one will have outlets aplenty for the laptopping class. Until then, the Philips 3-Outlet Travel Power Strip is all that stands between us and anarchy.
