Can't believe I never thought about that one before. Trip to Lowes in order...
I used to have a short power strip, had three outlets on it. A bit bigger but would also work.

| That is the FIRST thing that came to mind when I read the article, before I even glanced at the posts.
Bring a 1to3 or 2to6 outlet adapter (or even a powerstrip; it will protect you from a surge!), and share the outlet with everyone around. Most laptop PSU's only require 90 watts, so...
12 outlets (one 6x powerstrip plugged into each of the two plugs in a standard single wall gang) drawing 90 watts each = 1080 watts, or about 60% of what a standard outlet can support.

| I prefer a 6' extension cord with a tri plug on the end. They are cheaper, fit better in your bag, should be easier to get through security (and are cheap enough to be thrown away if they balk), and they solve the next shrinking problem: the *seats* next to the power plugs. | |
