Macworld | Laptops lost like hot cakes at US airports

Macworld | Laptops lost like hot cakes at US airports: "Keep laptops close at airports, because they have a startling tendency to disappear in the blink of an eye, according to a new survey.

Some of the largest and medium-sized U.S. airports report close to 637,000 laptops lost each year, according to the Ponemon Institute survey released Monday. Laptops are most commonly lost at security checkpoints, according to the survey."

Key quote: "Travelers seem to lack confidence that they will recover lost laptops."

Gee, I wonder why.
