Use #31 ferrite snap-ons.  I am not sure I would trust Homeland Security 
for electronics issues, security yes electronics no!

What is the manufacture and model of the keyboard?  My IBM keyboard 
finally bit the dust and I am in the market for a back light keyboard.  
Would like to know what to avoid.
