It's not that people store them in cars. More commonly they'll just nip into a shop on the way home from work, and an opportunist thief will see it on the passenger seat, smash the window, and grab it. You can't prohibit that kind of thing

Sure you can. Carry it into the store. But if that's too much of an inconvenience, then it deserves to be stolen.

You're kind of missing the point here, monkey, which is that if you have commercially sensitive information on any portable device, it needs to be encrypted. You can make all the rules you want about not losing it, but people can and do lose stuff, and if it gets into the wrong hands, that could be catastrophic to a business.

It's impossible to not have to keep your laptop in car at all times. The guidance we are given is lock it in the trunk. It' s encrypted. If there is information on it that sensitive, it shouldn't be on the laptop anyway, but left at work on a server.

Because when you bring the laptop back into the US, it's possible that the custom agents will confiscate it, especially if the disk in encrypted. It apparently has happened.

If there is restricted encryption software on the device then any required export (or import) documentation can be applied for but is inconvenient. The practices that I have come across either the company (or organization, such as a university) only allows "loaner" devices to be taken or, in some cases, the "personal" device to be scanned by IT and any encryption software removed. A number of countries are parties to the Wassenaar Arrangement controlling international transfer of arms and dual use technology, and includes the USA, the UK and my own among others (all "Five Eyes" Alliance countries are parties, plus others). For encryption software on personal use devices accompanying the user for their personal use there is an exemption among those countries (but not all I think(?) ) for travel between them. I have never travelled internationally with encrypted data or encryption software on a device {EDIT: apart from my phone on which permanent memory is encrypted but removable memory card never is}{EDIT 2: it comes to mind that on my notebook when travelling my password manager is encrypted-in the unlikely event one was inspected I doubt such would attract attention, however, in my case the software is open source and that is generally not restricted}.

If they are going to get out of the car, put it under the seat or in the car trunk. |

How the heck is paper a security threat unless they are afraid of paper cuts?
