Looks like they are in the Richardson area, though their Fax number is a Dallas exchange.

Yeah the head of Author Philip K Dick, don't know if it was recovered or not. Mr Hanson was taking it to Silicon Valley from Dallas and had it in a bag in the overhead compartment and forgot that there was a change of planes in Vegas and he was running on fumes since he had been travelling from the US to Asia and back earlier that week. Well he left it in the overhead bin when he deplained in Vegas and didn't realize he had left it behind until his plane landed in California. Air West said that a flight crew did find it, thank goodness, really how would you feal if you opened up a bag and saw a human looking head in it or that it was blown up by a security robot, but then it disappeared in transit to California, don't know if it was ever finally recovered or not. (video clip above shows the full body robot of PKD but I don't know when it was shot in relation to the above flight).

I want to see the Philip K. Dick one. Just wonder how they programed artifical drugs to interact with the artifical intellegence of Dick.

That story was written in June so don't know if it was found later or not, I had read a piece in USA today that had said the same basic things but it was also written about the same time and they posulated that it could be setting in a warehouse in Alabama where wayward luggage is sold.
