[PLUG] Tom Potter dual boots Linux and Windows

[Dave Scott]

I would think a couple of Thugs could see that anyone carraying a 
Notebook case around would probably have a notebook inside but maybe 
they need to see the actual system before they nab it, maybe they saw it 
was an IBM Thinkpad and not some crappy Dell or something.  There are a 
lot of people carrying Laptops around and it seems that they are easy to 
spot just by what type of backpack they have. 

Maybe some type of built in Laptop Taser would be the key here.
