A corporate travel organization is lobbying for new regulations to rein in the right of border agents to search, copy data from, and even confiscate a traveler’s laptop without a warrant (see this week’s story). Our questions this week: Did you know the government can do that to inbound international travelers? Has it ever happened to you? Do you think security concerns justify this practice? Post your comments here.

I wish there was a forum to expand this conversation to the many items that simply come up missing from checked luggage. IS THERE NOTHINg THE AIR TRAVELER CAN DO ABOUT THIS? You report it to the airline and all you get is a sympathetic ear and a phone number to call. I'm not even sure they keep tabs on what's being reported. I recently took a poll among people standing in line with me at a checkin cunter and three out of five had things (often new, still packaged clothing and cosmetic items) come up missing. Is TSA being monitored, too?
