When I wrote about ways to protect your laptop if you needed to ship it as checked luggage, one assumption I made was that no one would do this if they had a choice. But with restrictions on luggage between the United Kingdom and the United States a few days ago, it seemed like a good bet that such a thing could happen.

Fortunately, those restrictions were eased, so as long as personal hygiene isn't too important, travel is back to normal. Of course, if you plan to use deodorant, shave, wash your hair or brush your teeth while you're gone, then checked-luggage rules still have a certain charm.

But one thing I didn't think of is that people might actually check their computers as luggage on purpose. Turns out, some people do.
