I haven't been following the consumer computer market (let alone the
current laptop market) for a couple years, but there used to be
something called a "computer leash" or something like that.

It was something like a bicycle lock, and would let you lock your
laptop to the table leg, etc. while you answer nature's call (or check
references in the library, or whatever.

I considered buying one for awhile, but it required some sort of
permanent installation on the computer (some sort of double-stick
tape/super glue arrangement, as I recall).
