Although, the present day robots are made in China and therefore are missing parts. Hence, the process is slow going.

My son was born in December of 2001, and I made several transatlantic voyages with him and then after 2004 with both him and his sister - a baby and a toddler. So I know what you are talking about. My latest trip was two years ago. I don't know when I will be able to afford another trip. When I do, it will be interesting to see how passengers will be treated. I hope that the airlines continue to be careful however they conduct the security checks. I can put up with standing in line, being searched and having to remove my shoes, if it means that we will get to our destination alive and well.<br /><br />Great Centus! Unusual and unexpected solution to the challenge. <br />Very well done.<br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><br /><a href="http://annasadornments.blogspot.com/2010/11/mrs-jenny-matlocks-saturday-centus-week.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's SC week 27</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-69804662887048944542010-11-13T07:36:22.193-06:002010-11-13T07:36:22.193-06:00Like where you took this one--robotic hands.Like where you took this one--robotic hands.Teresahttp://razzamadazzle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-59085116272808342222010-11-13T03:11:57.541-06:002010-11-13T03:11:57.541-06:00There is a price to pay for everything - warm hand...There is a price to pay for everything - warm hands or quick getaway!
