Fly With Missing Laptop Air
10,000 missing laptops a day. What runs through your mind when you hear that? What ran through my mind is, anything that would cause that many missing laptops a day is something I won’t be doing any time soon.
If you plan to fly on an airplane I would handcuff your laptop to you. I don’t fly that often and now I want to fly even less. I can deal with the extra security and the rectal searches but you tell me there is a 2% chance I may never see my laptop again and I’ll turn right around and walk where I need to be.
According to the Ponemon Institute, more than 10,000 laptops are reported lost at the 36 largest airports in the US each week and, of those, 65 percent are not reclaimed. They also reported a further 2,000 laptops lost at medium-sized airports, with 69 percent of those not reclaimed.
