Do modern laptops have disk drives that are that hard to remove?
Let us say "No, they are not that hard to remove."
Now what? (Recall that this thread started with a situation where it was said that carry-on was limited to passport, medicine in small quantities, and precious little else.)
No, you were right about my intent. If you're flying from the States you can carry this. Flying in the reverse direction is the problem - this week. (The rules already changed, today; are we sure that disk drives are still on the Index Proscriptus? What about RAM drives?) You could also rush-express it ahead of you, but that's a bit of a gamble. Less so if you encrypt it and keep a copy at home. Sort of like faxing your disk drive ahead. And, going along with what I think you later said, if you just leave the laptop itself at home and stick the disk drive into an identical laptop provided for that purpose at the destination, you could never tell the difference. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
