Interesting post on local DX Packet Cluster. Whether this will
spread is unknown, but DX-peditioners take note.

Two passengers on a Sabena Airbus 340 wound up with corrupted
hard drives from tray tables which used magnetic latches for
quieter storage. They had their laptops on the tray when they
suddenly started behaving erratically and then quit.

A word to the wise.
