    Will you check in your laptop?

    Let's just say they don't allow you to carry your laptop as carry on baggage, would you trust the airlines to give it the proper care as checked baggage?

              I would Fed Ex it before I trusted it to go through the hands of the TSA. It would probably end up in a pawn shop.

                  You can get custom vibration/impact safe cases similar to camera cases ... but ...
                  Airplane cargo is exposed to temperatures from 0 to 100 plus degrees.

                  Who knows what type of screening is done to checked baggage.

                  Business sensitive information is now as secure as your lost luggage.

                        removable harddrives...etc

                              Fuck no. You'll never see it again and if you do it'll be damaged.

                              Best thing would be to FedEx it or just fly private with a group and screw flying commercial.

                                          Yes because god forbid your fists could ever be used as weapons to subdue someone carrying a box-cutter.

                                                    Anything I put in my bag I put it in the middle sourrounded by clothes so when they throw it around its padded. Also I think I had a camcorder nicked somewhere. It was just in the bag near the zip I just put it in last minute and I think they just open the zip and have a qiuck feel see if theres anything to take. So I think the further inside you put stuff the safer it will be but that is just a guess.

                                                    I keep all my work on PGPdisk drives (about 2GB) so I can copy them onto a DVD or even a CF card and put it in my pocket.

                                                    So if your laptop gets fucked you could just reinstlal windows and get the drive off the CF card. I would lose some stuff though like the stupid pics from GFY I downloaded on my desktop

                                                      nah didnt you see those hidden videos at la guardia i think it was they worked in teams and fully open and search your bags taking anything valuable while the other baggage dudes put the stuff back in. They know everyone expects it..

                                                      Of course theres too many bags for them to check them all in time , but you just get lucky sometimes.. now that they have more sophistcated zray machines for the lower baggage they can spot expensive items on the xray and send them to be scooped..

                                                        I don't think they would even let you take these through on your person at the moment, would they?

                                                              i checked a laptop for the first time a couple weeks ago on an hour long flight from zhahaha252;rich to Vienna. thought it would be safe on swiss airlines. that was the first time in my entire life that i lost my luggage, luckily it was found and nothing was missing or damaged. but didnt put much faith in swiss air for me.

It also said that if you have a lock on your luggage and they can't open it, they'll BREAK the lock if your bag is chosen for a random search.

                                                                                                    There are shock resistant hard drives. Think Acer offers them and others. so it's more the content that protecting physically. You would have a backup of course.

                                                                                                    What's legal in the Netherlands, may not be in the states, so if they look at the data, there could be a problem. Plus all the other info - Statsremote etc. info shared with IRS!!! You know damn well there would be some sample checking or looking at at info on the HD.

                                                                                                    How about this, you layover in the bible belt and end up in jail for possession of obscene pics..
