How Much Longer Can We Travel for Business?

I want to travel safely. I bet you do too. What does this require? No ice picks, no lighters, no baseball bats -- no problem. I don't want to be on a plane with possible weapons. No toothpaste, no deodorant, no double lattes? They could be ways to smuggle explosive ingredients on board, though (thankfully) it has never happened.

But the latest restriction, while seemingly the most annoying for business travelers, is trying to prevent something that actually has happened, many times: electronic devices catching fire.

I love my laptop. (Actually it's a ThinkPad that gives me lots of problems, but that's for another discussion.) I love what a laptop does for my productivity. I've been loving laptops since 1982 when I got a TRS-80 Model 100, the very first laptop. Traveling with a laptop used to be so rare that when I popped one open on an airplane I'd draw a crowd. I've traveled around the world -- literally -- with a laptop and don't want to stop now.
