This is why keeping work accounts, machines, and activities separate is always a good idea. In this case Gary did have "something to hide".
When I used to travel for work, I carried two laptops despite the hassle.
If BYOD was allowed I'd probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can't access each other's files.
Best of both worlds.
I'd rather not wear out my hardware for work
Nope. If I have to wander around going to various work sites and getting the laptop rained on, baked by the sun, sprinkled with dust and grass cuttings, and generally getting kicked about it's going to be a work device not my own.
