Ask Slashdot: How To Secure My Life-In-A-Briefcase?

Posted by timothy on Sunday May 13, 2012 @06:28AM from the nix-the-self-destruct-button dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I used to travel with a book and some clothes in a backpack, and now my entire life fits into my briefcase. I have a laptop, a tablet, and a cell phone with access to all of my documents through Dropbox, and all the books I own are on my kindle. Aside from having about four grand in electronics, the bag has everything of value that I own. If that bag is stolen while I'm traveling, it will be more trouble than if my apartment burns down (while I'm not in it). What can I do to secure my life-in-a-briefcase?"

  Four thousand dollars, you say?
  Remind me again, where do you live and what time do you leave each morning?

  Won't do you any good if the OP carries his stuff with him. You need to know which dark alleys he walks through.

Whatever you do don't handcuff your briefcase to your hand. At least not if you value your hand :)

  Duh. You hire three ninjas and give each of them a briefcase. Only one is the real briefcase. The others are full of ninja-style weapons.
