PROTECTING LAPTOPS AT AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS
Travelers going through airport security checkpoints these days need to
take their computer laptops out of their cases and place them separately on
the conveyor belts of the airport X-ray machines. To protect the machines
from damage, airline experts suggest you take the following steps: request
a plastic tub for your laptop before placing it on the conveyor belt;
position the laptop in the middle of the belt and behind the carrying case,
so that the case can serve as a cushion if the machine slides forward; and
tape your name onto the laptop itself, so that it doesn't get confused with
other laptops with the same general appearance. (Washington Post 14 Nov 2001)
