Senior Member hairbank Posted April 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm preparing to head to H&W tomorrow for HT #3 with Dr. Wong this Thursday. I travel occasionally but am far from an expert. Are there any issues traveling with a Laptop? I mean like security issues - will it slow me down? I'd like to take mine because I know I'll have an internet link at my Hotel and would like to post pics after. Also - will it hurt a laptop to go through an airport scanner? I absolutely can't lose the hard-drive!!! Any thoughts on this? I'm a little tight on time at the airport and don't want to miss the flight :-) Hairbank 1st HT 1-18-05 - 1200 FUT's 2nd HT 2-15-06 - 3886 FUT's Dr. Wong 3rd HT 4-24-08 - 2415 FUT's Dr. Wong GRAND TOTAL: 7501 GRAFTS current regimen: 1.25mg finasteride every other day My Hair Loss Weblog Disclaimer: I'm not a Doctor (and have never played one on TV ) and have no medical training.

Senior Member Rambler Posted April 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 I travel quite a bit and always take a laptop. No real issues concerning traveling with laptops. You will be asked to remove it from its case as you run it through the scanner. No worries about damage from the scanner. I've done it dozens of times and never any damage. Some times, you might be asked to turn on the computer but going into Canada I doubt this will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Rambler, your words are comforting since I too have never traveled with a laptop. I have seen others do it, and at worst, it may slow you down a few minutes taking it out of the case, etc. Hairbank, going to do some work on your travels?

Senior Member irish homer Posted April 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've traveled for the last 6 or 7 years with my laptop, No problems and no delays, just make sure you can remove it quickly from it's case at the security desk.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted April 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can confirm the excellent advice the two posters above have given, as I routinely travel with my trusty Toshiba..... However, I sure as heck wasn't in the mood to surf the net that night. For me, I should have taken a cd player and some Zepplin or something as I was feelin pretty doped up. 100?

Senior Member hairbank Posted April 22, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks guys! I'll probably end up taking it but am not sure. It seems of all the HT's I've had this one is last minute and has snuck up on me. If I make it to the airport tomorrow remembering button-up shirts for the surgery I'll be lucky! A couple of caveats for this trip..........I think I'm hooking up w/ Jotronic for dinner when I arrive (if we have time), AND LaGrange has graciously moved up his staple removal by one day so we can chat that day. I ended up clipping down to 1/2" on the sides and 3/4" on top for work today and had a couple comments about the summer haircut! Hope they like it because I'll be sporting an even shorter version when I return in 15 days ! Planted the seed for short hair anyway. I'm getting more psyched by the minute!!

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hairbank, So your surgery is tomorrow! How are you feeling? Give me a call if you want to chat beforehand. LaGrange, you are going there to see Hairbank? That's great. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
