I'm so used to doing this, I do the same when traveling in the US at Hampton Inn, Courtyards, etc.
To all of you who are more security conscious, have you ever had problems?
I was beginning to think that I was either stupid or very lucky... I have never taken any precautions. My laptop is usually out on the desk in plain view. Domestic hotels include Hampton Inns, Courtyards etc with international in Spain, Germany, Italy, UK, Panama, even Mexico... so far, so good.
I should state that I am not ewmployed by any company, and certainly have no particularly sensitive info on my laptop. If I had real sensitive company info, I might take more precautions.
