I recently left my macbook with the TSA after a frantic sprint through security. I was stuck with a windows 7 PC for the week.
Armed with Putty and a browser, I only missed the touchpad of my macbook. I do most of my work in Jupyter and in vim. It's rather liberating to realize you are not tied to one ecosystem. My point is I thought I would never be productive without my mac but that simply wasn't true.
I suppose I am an edge case though as most of my work is performed on my headless linux workstation.
For those wondering, TSA held on to my macbook which I retrieved over the weekend.

- kharms 9y agoSounds like he forgot it after taking it out to be x-rayed,
- splintercell 9y agoOh I thought that TSA didn't let him continue with his Macbook.
- itodd 9y agoCorrect.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoGood on the TSA!
- multibit 9y agoyes, good on the TSA for not stealing the laptop they confiscated/found.
- leesalminen 9y agoI’m honestly pretty amazed they didn’t relieve you of your laptop. Lots of stories of thieves in blue shirts. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/top-20-airports-tsa-theft/story?id=17537887 http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/top-20-airports-tsa-theft/stor...
