FW: USA: Online book-sharing service for the blind borrows a page from Napster

[Amanda Lee]

They would likely not see a thing but your notebook in it's carrying case
and your braille page which they don't need to know about what comprises its
connectivity methodology.

For me, the  infrared is already built-into my notebook and that is not
obvious to the human eye.  Same could exist inside of the braille display.

Perhaps, but can you imagine trying to explain to the attendants that it
doesn't run on those frequencies?  I mean, like they'll believe you,
hahaha.  In fact, if you're really lucky, a fellow passenger might even
think it were a controller for a bomb or something. *smile*

Cheers.
