Air Travel and Laptop Security
Restrictions around carry-on baggage items at airports may have been relaxed a little, but some security companies said Monday they are betting on increased demand for products that can protect electronic devices such as laptops and PDAs during air travel.More here.
Products such as asset-tracking software for laptops, rugged carrying cases for electronic devices, stickers, locks, and anti-theft tags could find increased favor among travelers, some of whom may be forced to check in their gadgets.
Until Monday, travelers out of the United Kingdom had to check in all luggage. Britain has now said it has relaxed a ban on airline cabin baggage and scaled down a security alert that was put in place last week after a plot to blow up airliners was discovered and foiled. To the relief of business travelers, laptops and electronic devices would be permitted on board, but they will be screened thoroughly. Concerns have been raised over lithium-ion batteries used in laptops in particular.
