Going to COMDEX? No Laptop for You!

This year's COMDEX trade show in Las Vegas will be a relatively subdued affair, given the terrorist attacks earlier this year, but lower attendance won't be the only major change from previous shows. The COMDEX organizers are trying to prepare attendees for the ramped up security they'll see at the show, including the controversial move of banning laptops from the show.
"Please leave bags, briefcases, backpacks, [and] laptops at home or in your hotel room," a message on the COMDEX Web site reads. "People carrying purses and fanny packs must enter through a separate security check."
