We have done some storming on this issue. The issue is basically forked in
terms of
1) Airline security
2) Data Security

Wrt to item(1) , it is deemed to be  "possible" that IATA will move to
banning any electronic devices as carryon. This certainly is the way that
other entities are looking into risk negation from a view point on airlines
security.  As someone mentioned, IATA gives a rats ass about your corporate
data

This leave us with the delimma of protecting  localized data on a  Laptop,
Blackberry. iPod and/or other hand held devices.  Checked in luggage can
easily be stolen. misplaced and/or HDD yanked out....

Corporate Policy changes are needed- its just a matter of time
