Umm.. you're preaching to the choir from here on down.

The point I was trying to make is that you have to be careful in choosing your
battles - and this is one where you need to get off the plane already equipped

prepared to have travel schedules totally disrupted, or having the laptop
confiscated with little or no hope of it being returned in a timely manner)...
