I won't even address your overly analyzed reply.. 1) It makes no sense, and 2) you did exactly what I said you were doing.

Plain and simple... no.. people don't check their laptops. I'm glad you can point to one or two people that have.. but considering the millions/billions of flights, that certainly supports what I say.. no, people don't check 'em.

Yup! I sure can! If someone is doing it, they are idiots AND VERY VERY VERY few that I can actually say it's not done.

But, if you want to find the one or two people that do it and say "you can't say no-one" then I'm not interested in an exchange with you.

Even the airlines tell you NOT to do it.

said by fiberguy :

Um... no. I think I can say with out a doubt that no one checks their laptops under the plane when they travel.

Who checks their laptop when flying?? I keep mine in my backpack, which comes on the flight with me. Why would you ever put something (relatively) delicate into the checked baggage hell? I feel that anyone who has ever once seen how the baggage "handlers" throw bags around would know better than to check anything breakable.

said by tiger72 :

this is mostly an issue of checked baggage. You know, when the geniuses at TSA "randomly" choose to "search" bags with laptops in them and then "lose" them.

I don't know I can trust them to handling my laptop. I have seen a story about US airports lose laptops daily.

In the other hands, this seems a good idea.
