How Do You Keep Laptop Safe While Traveling?
As airlines are more concerned with security, allowing you to carry less and inspect more, you have to be concerned about the safety of your laptop computer. Where is that laptop when you are removing your shoes? When the guard is waving his wand around your body? What about when it goes though the x-ray? Is it safe? Will it still be there on the other end of its journey? When you stow your laptop in an overhead bin, will it be safe or stolen? Do not check your laptop. Always keep it with you. Do not put it in with other baggage. If you have to remove your laptop from its case and turn it on to show security that the laptop is a laptop, save time by turning it on ahead of time and leaving it in suspend mode. Do not send your laptop through the X-ray conveyor belt until it is your turn to walk through the metal detector. Be sure to pick it up immediately when it comes out the other end. Do not put it in the overhead storage area because it could get knocked around or even get picked up
