I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread or not but another way to improve your "security" while in a sleeper is by limiting the amount of traffic past your room by choosing your location. I'll be in room 13, car 1432 in a few weeks time and I'll pretty much guarantee that I'll see much less foot traffic than I will on my return trip in room 5, car 1130.
I certainly didn't plan it that way. However, for the extra-paranoid, calling :help: and requesting a room at the far end of the sleepers (and downstairs if on a Superliner) would certainly reduce the number of passers-by (and possible sticky-fingered fellow pax ).
BTW, I'm far from being a veteran Amtrak traveler but I do have a few LD trips under my belt and I have never felt the need for anything more than "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" measures for things like a laptop.
