Fly to or from Los Angeles? Watch that laptop/e-reader!

By David Rothman

image “Last year Dell computers commissioned a study that found that 12,000 laptops are lost each week at U.S. airports. Los Angeles leads the pack with 1,200 laptops reported lost or stolen at LAX weekly. Incredibly, most laptops are left behind at security checkpoints, with only 33 percent ever being recovered (17 percent before the flight, 16 percent after).” – Los Angeles Times.

The TeleRead take: One more argument for e-reading devices you can fit in your pocket, eh—well if you’re not too forgetful around the security check point?
