New Rules for Flying with Laptop Batteries
The Department of Transportation is rolling out new restrictions on flying with lithium-ion batteries in the new year. It's time to stock up on plastic baggies if you're like me and carry lots of tech gear while traveling.The new rules are already causing confusion and are sure to create security-line delays.
Sprint and Alcatel-Lucent are rolling out the SprintSecure Laptop Guardian, a PC Card that combines a 3G modem, linux computer and battery to provide comprehensive security. If a SpintSecure-equipped computer is lost or stolen it can be locked down remotely by an admin, who can also wipe the drive's contents if he wants.
