However, our restrictions HAVE been a huge problem for my international team. I wanted to host some conferences here but was told the US government makes it way too difficult.

Only real trouble I've had abroad has been in Paris and Zurich. In the former they just like to hassle Americans. In the latter, I think my collection of Nokia gadgetry set off 15 red alerts.

I travel lighter now.

We can always do with more hands on the stand.

I just registered for the Maemo Summit and will therefore test ZRH airport with a N82, a N810, an Apple Wireless Keyboard plus loads of replacement batteries and adapters

I'm doing the videoing for the event so I'll be bringing, amongst other things,

Nokia n800
Nikon D40x
Panasonic HDC-SD5
Tripod
Roll-up keyboard
Nokia n95-2
Dell XPS M1330 laptop
1TB hard drive in enclosure
various other bits and pieces

Oh and maybe a change of clothes

I hope so, I don't think the hotel'd be big enough to get away from the smell ;-)

twaelti and Baloo, I think you guys should definitely avoid clustering at the airports.

EU != Europe, and the laws in each European country differ. For example, in UK one can be forced to reveal your cryptographic keys. I'm not saying Europe or EU are the creme de la creme in general, mind you.

In this specific example however the EU however doesn't have a similar policy as U.S. Government Policy for Seizing Laptops at Borders

Amazing. The U.S. government has published its policy: they can take your laptop anywhere they want, for as long as they want, and share the information with anyone they want: [...]

All this for _no_ reason whatsoever. This has fishing expedition written all over it.

My argument is that these oppressive policies make the US a less attractive country to travel to while the low USD makes it an attractive destination to stay. Both are arguments to be taken into account IMO.

Whew, looks like I'll be there at the big conference, too. Just got confirmation that it was a mix-up. Oh well, the museums will have to wait!
