I've been through all the Lists of Victims posted on the web site, and I noticed that there is not one Arabian sounding name listed!
CNN does say these are partial lists, but does that mean that all Arabian sounding names are automatically on the suspect list? Or is this a CNN version of ClearChannel-type censorship?
While I can see myself agreeing with your overall statement "You don't need so many gadgets", I have to disagree with the choices of kit you use as examples.
Mobile phones have gotten me out of jams many times (lost, forgotten something, running late, etc.)
And PDA's, well, I've found that every time I don't carry my Palm, I need some information from it. Not to mention I'd be lost without the scheduling info!
Depending on where you're going, you might not need to carry a laptop, but even simple stuff like a wallet and keys take up space. Hence the need to figure out where it's all going to go...
I hope the Batman reference doesn't mean you also wear your underwear over your pants!
Seriously though, it's an interesting issue... I don't much fancy carrying around a backpack, since it doesn't really fit the "corporate image", so I've resorted to using all four trouser pockets, and making sure all my gadgets are very small! The one thing I really struggle with is the most non-tech piece of kit I walk around with... my sunglasses.

Anyone interested this side of the Atlantic?
