Good advice. To elaborate, here's how it works. You put your notebook on
the conveyor belt. You get in line to go through the metal detector, but
the guy in front of you (an accomplice to the thief) keeps setting off the
alarm. You are stuck behind him while the other member of the team grabs
your notebook and runs.
Be ware!
