...frequent flyer, consider the TrackIT, a $59.99 keychain alarm that sounds if you and your machine are separated by more than 40 ft. (Don't laugh: post-9/11, there are more and more reports of frazzled business travelers leaving their laptops at the X-ray machine.) And since more than 40% of laptop thefts happen at work, it's worth locking yours down during your lunch break. Try the Notebook Guardian from PC Guardian ($59.99).

...Aukhaider ammunition dump sits next to an old mud fort in the desert, about 100 miles outside Baghdad, with only camels for company--unless U.N. weapons inspectors come calling. On their second visit, last week, the inspectors found 11 rocket warheads, which, portable X-ray machines revealed, were designed to deliver chemical weapons. (Sources say they may have been designed to carry nerve gas.) The warheads, which sources tell TIME were in good condition but had probably never been loaded with chemicals, appear to have been imported into Iraq in the 1980s but had been moved only recently to their...
