Saw an episode of Oprah this week with some cop talking about how simple it
is for laptops to be taken from backpacks. I think he advised against them
but he did say, if you must use them, to make sure that you have a lockable
flap which fits over a lockable zipper - in other words, make it difficult
for a would-be thief by making them have to attempt a two hand theft rather
than a single handed grab and run.
