I’m curious because this seems worse in many ways than purchasing in your home country and carrying across. I understand you go through the airport with a fresh laptop and that gives the opportunity for the airport security agents to mess with it, but in all recent travels when I’ve done this the only time I haven’t seen the laptop directly is when it’s in the X-ray machine for 30 secs. Seems like purchasing in visiting country would be less secure. Can you elaborate?
