Michael Horowitz: A Chromebook offers Defensive Computing when traveling


In response to the pathetic report by Richard Engel of NBC about computer
security in Russia and the Olympics, I argue that a Chromebook offers the most
security possible when visiting enemy territory, wherever that may be. This is
not the standard, oft-repeated advice offered by security companies. Trend Micro
(Engels tech companion) won't suggest Chromebooks. But I do.
