We have done some storming on this issue. The issue is basically forked in terms of
1) Airline security
2) Data Security
 
Wrt to item(1) , it is deemed to be  "possible" that IATA will move to banning any electronic devices as carryon. This certainly is the way that other entities are looking into risk negation from a view point on airlines security.  As someone mentioned, IATA gives a rats ass about your corporate data
 
This leave us with the delimma of protecting  localized data on a  Laptop, Blackberry. iPod and/or other hand held devices.  Checked in luggage can easily be stolen. misplaced and/or HDD yanked out....
 
Corporate Policy changes are needed- its just a matter of time

OK, so you pull the hard drive - where do you *put* it?  Remember, if it's
packaged to be removable, it's going to look a lot like an MP3 player or some
other thing-with-a-battery, and you end up having to check it.
