Any comments from the TSA on that?
I'm not a TSA person, but I'd guess no...too many variables at the checkpoint, too many individual screeners involved in the process for one person to take personal responsibility for one's machines. Besides, it would be abused...personally, I'd love a new iMac. How convenient would it be if I not-so-gently put my Dell in the bucket on the sly, or some such thing, then held TSA accountable?
