Israel airport security stole my laptop

This is particularly why I leave my good MacBook at home and depend on a decent Chromebook and a throwaway Gmail acct. I can use Citrix or an Amazon Workspace if I need something more secure. If I lose it or if it’s stolen, I’m out $200-400 instead of $1200 and my data.

Dang, I'll have to start considering something like this. And keep all my data on the cloud instead. :(

95% of what I do on my laptop (other than random web surfing) is hobby stuff that can go to Github.

That 5% (taxes, paperless office) happens on my MacBook.

So I’ve start to do the same thing: MacBook for US travel, $40 laptop for international travel.

Works great.

If you know how to secure a system, you could probably use owncloud or something like that too.
