XE-2 rather than the more capable XT-2 when I travel. In my case the issue is not security but I simply like the form factor of the XE-2 better, including its smaller size and weight. If I go on a long trip somewhere far, I might take the XT-2, but on my usual short business trips, like Brussels in a couple of weeks, I almost always take the XE-2.
