Times are changing for people choosing to travel with electronic devices; not so much within the US but certainly international flights.
Electronic devices are not longer just laptops, now they are cellular phones, tablets, readers, and gamers.
When you approach the boarding gate you may be informed that your electronic device MUST be checked that it is no longer permissible to carry the device on board. You will be given a baggage claim check and instructed to collect it along with all other luggage at the baggage carousel.
The question posed, how safe is your data that is on the electronic device, how secure is the collection process - will photo id be required, who has access to the device, do you have data stored that may not be secure. What kind of personal or confidential information have you stored on your cellular phone, computer, or tablet?
Always check with the airlines to find out what their policy is concerning the transport of electronic devices, both domestically and internationally. Ask about security in handling and in retrieving.
