Laptops in foriegn countries??????
I will be going to Germany, Czech Republic, and Austria over spring break. Would it be wise to bring my laptop? I have heard that they might make me take it apart to check for bombs (oh no!) and that the internet could be taking hours to get onto. But, I would like to be able to reach my family on an affordable rate i.e. not $1.00 a minute.

As long as your laptop is functioning properly you will have no problems. They do not make you take it apart and the most they do is ask you to turn it on to insure it is functioning and some airlines make you remove the batteries while in flight. Having your laptop to record a journal of your travels is a great thing to have along.

I was in Germany & Switzerland a couple months ago and had no problems taking a laptop. They did examine it and put it through the x-ray machine every time I was in an airport, but they didn't take it apart or do anything that would damage it. Have fun on your trip
