Here's an article for those of you who received new tech toys this holiday season and will be traveling home with them. PC World has a article summarizing tips for traveling with your technology gear. They also point to the TSA's list of permitted and prohibited items to bring on a plane.Here's some extra tips of my own. I tend to keep my electronics in a single bag. I use a great laptop bag from Spire. In it, I keep my Tablet PC, my digital camera and my Smartphone while I'm on the plane. I'll also carry a Pocket PC in it if I have need for one on the trip. It also has a spaghetti pouch for for power cords and other cables. Keeping all the electronics together lets me limit the amount of things I have to keep track of getting through the security checkpoints.
When you're packing the power adapters, USB connectors and other cables, try to pack them neatly. If the security screener working the X-ray machine sees a rat's nest in your bag, it's more difficult for that person to figure out what's in the bag and send it along.
What are some other tips that have made your travels with technology better?
