I was watching the news this evening while at the gym, and spotted the new "Electronic devices must be charged up" rule for flying.
- You think the writers had a crystal ball when they wrote EMP's line "..and Q is afraid of flying." The poor Quartermaster certainly has reason to now!
Customs: Ok so the IPad works. How many other items do you have sir?
Q: (Looking sheepish) "Erm, 252, if you include the defensive weapons, disguised devices and the nerve gas pen!"
Cut to: M's Office later that day. M loks annoyed. Tanner loks apologetic.
Tanner: So after the third hour, customs finally agreed to call us, and with your permission sir, will authorise a chit for Q to use in cases where he has to supply Q Branch materials out of the country. Erm, the Foreign Secretary and the new Chief of internal security both want to see you, and it seems the containers got mixed up with one belonging to Sir Hugo Drax. Seems he's diverging into Aerospace technologies? Odd thing was his crate was bound for Auric Enterprises in Switzerland?
M (into Intercom) Moneypenny, cancel my appointments for the next three hours, and get me everything we have on Sir Hugo Drax, Auric Enterprises and Sony.
Penny: Yes sir.
Tanner: Sony sir?
M: All these computers video screens and laptops they supply us. - Who else are they supplying? Might as well find out at the same time, and FIND BOND!
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
It could be like the opening scene from Collateral, where Vincent just arrived at LAX with a briefcase and bumps into Jason Statham's character who also has a briefcase and both pick up each others briefcases. its a clever way to pick up your weapons and equipment i thought.
In the Gardner Continuation Novels, Bond hides his Firearm in a secret Compartment within his Suitcase -{
Yes, agreed, I think that's what other writers also said in their continuation novels but don't remember which ones (I think it was done again in Solo). In the movies including the recent ones, I think they just assume that Bond getting his gun through airport security is a given and the audience gets it. Since they've shown before that Q's technology can do that kind of thing, I would imagine that nowadays, secret compartments in Bond's luggage would also have some electronic gizmo based on magnetic resonance (or something like that) that could trick x-rays and other airport security machines to make whatever is in that space to look like socks or underwear.
