There certainly was one at the security station that wanted to check
out the little immersion heater I carry for boiling water to brew tea
in motels in strange towns -- when I pointed out that the heater would
quickly self-destruct if it were not immersed in water while plugged
in, the agent concerned with me had a colleague dutifully fetch some
water, too.  There's no end of conveniences available at those
stations :-) .
