Re: Blackhawk Under the Radar iPad & Passport Holder

Anything electronic when travelling should be powered down, SIM removed and Faraday bagged well away from your departure airport and should only be reassembled well after arriving at your destination airport.

It's not so much about the technique as it is about the mindset of being hit and being able to hit back.
