Concerns from departments have become stronger lately and demands for a university policy and memo to faculty are being requested, but we do not have a policy (yet) to forbid the travel with laptops. I am probably more paranoid than most having grown up in (what used to be West) Germany and experiencing the enforced trip to East Berlin as part of high school. That trip automatically excluded a few of my classmates from traveling through East Germany because their dads were in the military. That being said, I am surprised anyone is taking a work laptop with anything more than a presentation to a foreign country like China. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Shettler, David Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 12:43 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Travel abroad, equipment, etc. "Some universities no longer allow their professors to take laptops to certain countries, and that should be a standard practice, said James A.
