   But sometimes it fails to power down.   
      
   Once, in the airport queue for security, I noticed a lady with the   
   laptop lid closed, but still powered up. I told her. She then tried to   
   power it off, failed, and in despair, took again her place in the queue.   
      
   Long ago, I had that situation, laptop that would not finally power down   
   and the battery ran out. I do not remember the cause.
