[Hidden-tech] Possible laptop ban options

[Marcia Yudkin]

Thanks, Rich.  I don't think we will be staying in hotels per se most of the trip.  More like AirBnBs or pensions.

But I'm wondering also if people feel that hotel business center computers would be secure most of the time?

A couple of months ago I used a computer at Forbes Library and noticed that they wiped everything clean, so to speak, after each user.  I wonder if that's the norm these days?

 Personally, I'd be surprised if the ban
 happens, however I also believe 
 in thinking
 ahead.
 
 Since wifi is so
 common now, the Internet cafe is a pretty rare thing, 
 although most hotels
 have
 business centers.
 
 I'd
 go with a throw-away tablet -- there are some pretty cheap
 ones.
 To be safe packing it, turn it off -
 not just put it to sleep,
 also it's
 likely they will not be as limited as laptops, if any ban
 does 
 take place.
 
 OR you could buy a cheap laptop, pre-load it
 and ship it to your first 
 hotel to hold for
 you.
 Just another idea.
 
 Happy Travels (and be sure to post)
