So thats’ sounds hair-rasing!
Laptop Losses Total 12,000 Per Week at US Airports

But really you can say anything with statistics.

Break-it-down.
= 1,714 a day
But there are 517 airports in the US, of which 382 are primary. Lets just take the airports classified as Hubs = 139 see http://www.aci-na.org/index/airportsyou_faq#q-how-many-airports

1714/139 = On average that’s only 12 laptops a day per major airport.
or about one every hour…

Now take a major hub airport like Chicago, which has 2663 aircraft movements a day, of which 64% are commercial = 1704 flights a day! Passenger totals 76,248,911 pa equate to 197,942 people a day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O’Hare_International_Airport

Well, that statistic sounds pretty bland now. At a major commercial airport in any one hour:
* 16,495 passenger leave/arrive
* 142 commercial flight are processed
and, just one laptop gets lost!

Damn lies and statistics
