I cannot wait until you tell us how you set off the bells and whisteles at the airports during your vacation.
Imagine, a magnetic LIZA JANE!!!!
How romantic is that???

P.S. Many moons ago, I was traveling to Florida when a man passed through one of the metal detectors and all the bells went off. Everybody came rushing over to see what the commotion was (as of course did I).
Well, they took all his stuff out of his pockets, keys, bottle openeners, etc, (whatever men carried on their person over 30 years ago). Well, he was clean, and they put him through again, and the same thing happened. Trouble was the man didn't speak a word of english and thought he was radioactive or something because he began to go crazy. They tried to calm him down and explain that they just wanted to find out why the bells were going off. All he knew that was happening was that he was being detained and they wouldn't let him on the plane.
So they take him to a private room and made him get undress (I can't imagine the look on his face as they explained THAT to him). Then they ran the metal thing up and down his body and the bells were still going off. They came out and were looking perplexed at each other because they had no idea why this man was settihg off metal detectors.
THEY FINALLY GOT A TRANSLATOR and when the guy heard what was happened he looked at everybody like they were stark raving mad and simply explained in his native language that during the war he had been injured and there was shrapnel still embedded in his leg.
Of course everybody backed off and allowed him his dignity. I will hever forget that as long as I live.
If the magnets work for you guys, I'm telling Alan. I just have to get my direct tv to get working again. Maybe I'll try putting magnets on it.!!!!
