Keeping Your Belongings Safe During Holiday Travel

When you think of TSA you think security but did you know that in the year, airlines lost 7 bags for every 1,000 passengers? That is true according to the Department of Transportation. A steadily rise each year from 2002, when the industry lost 3.84 bags for every 1,000 fliers. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) estimates that, “for each of it’s employees who touches a bag, six to 10 airline or airport employees and contractors touch the same bag once it's out of the passenger's sight, increasing the chances of loss or theft.” Full Story Here

Granted, this is not the kind of thing you want to hear about during the holiday season yet, getting your belongings rummaged through and your valuables or much needed medication stolen would be far worse.

So while you are planning you trip to go see “Aunt Jane” in California why not take a little extra precautions to keep your belongings safe and to get you through check points faster. Here are some tips.

Carry valuable jewelry and medications on your person – anything stolen or lost is usually never reimbursed.

Consider shipping your luggage and gifts – A new service like Luggage Free has emerged as ways to bypass the hassles of checking bags. You jus pack your suitcases as usual no special packaging needed. Shipping slips and return slips are mailed to you with a pickup time scheduled. If the bags are being sent to a hotel, the concierge will typically call customers to let them know their belongings have arrived. There is also the option of simply mailing bags and/or packages by using the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx Corp. or UPS Inc. Full Story Here

Computers are a big target and space issues can prevent you from keeping your carry-on with you from check point to check point. It is best to leave your computer at home. Consider renting a computer for your travel needs. It can arrive at your event or hotel loaded with the software you need and ready to go.Computer Rental Story Here

Planning ahead will help you avoid hassles at check points and worry about security issues. New options can lessen the stress of getting on a plane when all you have to take is yourself and everything you need is on its way keeping your holiday season happy.

Video Wall Rentals

Video Wall Rentals are a great idea for large events, like conventions and trade shows, where the impact has to be big.

Video walls are made up of several panels, typically 4, 9,16 or 25 panels. Each pannel is generally 42" but other sized panels are available.

Each panel is stacked in combination to present one image across several panels.

Prepare your Rentals for 2007 Conventions with a Plasma Display from Rentacomputer.com


Rentacomputer.com is now taking orders for 2007. We are reserving plasma displays to many tradeshow booths nationwide. We are renting plasma flat panel displays from 37"-61". If any one who is unaware of what a plasma flat panel display is, let me inform you how it works and how great it would be for any presentation.

Plasma display is a flat lightweight surface covered with millions of tiny glass bubbles. Each bubble contains a gas-like substance, the plasma, and this has a phosphors coating. These bubbles are thought of as the pixels. Each bubble has three sub-bubbles one that contains red, one containing green, and the last one blue. Once a image signal is connected a digitally controlled electric current flows through the flat screen, causing the plasma inside the designated bubbles to give off ultraviolet rays. This in turn causes the phosphor coating to glow the appropriate color making your plasma display. There are millions bubbles glowing and dimming to make a rich, vivid image.

This technology from Rentacomputer.com will make your tradeshow booth shine with technology and look great for the showing of your presentation.

Rentacomputer.com representatives are standing by waiting to help you make your 2007 tradeshow booth look amazing with a plasma display please call 800.736.877x221 to make reservations.
Thank you,
