Re: New Laptop Polices

[Bob Radvanovsky <rsradvan () unixworks net>]

You mean the fact that you are *erquired* now to *check* your laptop along with your baggage?  Take into account that 
most laptops aren't easy to remove the hard disk drives, and that most laptops of corporate and/or government 
executives contain either sensitive or classified information, I don't seriously think that the UK government, nor its 
corporations, have taken into consideration all of the consequences involved.  Take for example the ongoing issues of 
laptops mysteriously disappearing (esp. the Veteran's Administration...I lost count, how many has it been, 5 times?) 
that contains spreadsheets and/or databases that contains *private* information.

The UK needs to consider the implications about *how* they will cover the loss of financial, sensitive or classified 
information...

Just my 2 cents worth, which by today's standards doesn't even get you a piece of gum any more...sad, isn't it?

P.S.  I think that corporations now need to state that corporate executives should NOT have corporate data on their 
hard disk drives; further locking down corporate assets.  I think that they should make it easier for the removal of 
hard disk drives to be removed so they aren't stolen.
