[quote=GRIZ326,38615]I do not carry a full-sized laptop when traveling on personal business. Instead I carry a full function computer small enough to carry in my bag.

In the 5 star hotels in which I stayed I had no concerns of theft. My rooms were equipped with in-room safes.

I left my baggage, including electronics, for several days in the care of a budget hotel. Nothing was stolen and there was no evidence that my baggage had been looked through.

My company provides us with with motion alarms to lock our computers to immovable objects. You might consider buying one of those devices. They set off a hideously loud alarm when an unauthorized person moves them.

If you are most concerned about the security of your data, I recommend using PGP encryption. You can download it here: http://www.pgpi.org/   Even the internationally distributed versions are uncrackable by commonly available decryption tools.[/quote]
