Re: [Full-disclosure] New Laptop Polices

[Bob Radvanovsky <rsradvan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
