This Is Why You Should Never Walk and Text, Kids

You might inadvertently trigger a security lockdown at an airport.

A man disembarking a flight at Australia’s Sydney Airport was apparently so engrossed in whatever he was watching on his iPad that he couldn’t take his face away from the screen to pay attention to where he was going when he exited the plane into the airport. With the iPad still glued to his face, Sydney Morning Herald reports that the man accidentally wandered through an exit tunnel into a domestic terminal without clearing security. The entire terminal was promptly evacuated, and all the passengers had to be re-screened before being allowed to board their flights.

Here endeth the lesson.

Since my iPad case has been so popular, here’s how you can get one too!

It think it is fair to say that my iPad case has been one of the breakway stars of South by Southwest Interactive 2012. At least six people have approached me asking if they can take a picture of the case, and not a single one of them has asked me to pose with the case. I guess that shows you who, between me and the case, is the photogenic one.

For those who have not experienced the wonder of the case, it makes the iPad look like an Etch-A-Sketch. You know you want some of this.

Thanks to Amazon, such a fly case can be yours, too. You can also get it directly from Headcase. Well, you can do this if you think you could handle this much concentrated awesome. Can you?
