[Hidden-tech] Possible laptop ban options

[ussailis at shaysnet.com]

I haven't been to Europe in a while, but in the past there was a internet
cafe everywhere in Germany, UK, Austria. Cost was about a UK pound or Euro
/ hour. 

In Nova Scotia I use the library. I believe every town library has internet
access there. Where I go there is even WiFi access from a marked parking
spot in front of the library. Available 24/7. 

Next, sign in to your email thru  mail2web.com I use it all the time from
Canada, and whenever I am on a trip. You can read email, delete junk, send
email and so froth from a tablet. I have never had a problem, and I only
use the free service.

BUT, it will not work on a Verizon account. 

If the advertising is bothersome adding Ghostery to Firefox eliminates it.

Hi friends,

I have a 3-week trip to Europe coming up in a few months.  The tickets are
already bought.  And I'm concerned about what the best plan would be in
case the possible laptop ban is put into place before or during my trip.

For obvious reasons, it seems like a very bad idea to place a laptop in
luggage that gets sent on through to your destination.  What do you think
would be the best alternatives, considering that I will probably need to
have a relatively safe way to perform business, travel and banking tasks
during three weeks abroad, and I'm not accustomed to doing any of that on
my (Android) smartphone?

1)Look for Internet cafes and the like during my trip

2)Buy an inexpensive, destined to be disposed later, tablet that I do send
in checked baggage, password protect it and keep as little on it as
possible (most of my files are backed up on the cloud anyway)

3)Figure out how to do everything on my phone, frustrating as that is

4)Or...?

What do you suggest?  What would you do?
