My question about the SmartCarte system is how you charge a laptop while working on it? Do you have to stand by the machine and hold your laptop in the air while typing?

Do you have to stand by the machine and hold your laptop in the air while typing?

Many airports now offer device re-charging stations. They are quite plentiful in Atlanta, and I believe in Cincinnati as well.
