As a frequent transtlantic business traveller, I need my laptop. Fact of modern life. When I travel alone, I don't have checked baggage, just the laptop and a small briefcase -- for my small briefs
So now I may be required to check my laptop.
I note that there is significant concern about theft from checked baggage.
Can anyone please explain to me how dishonest people get employed airside, can steal stuff, and walk out of the airport with it? And given that they are criminals, what's to stop them putting stuff
into the bag "I packed myself"?
