An anchor/tether assemblage for use with a security slot in a portable electronic article that provides a securement for securely attaching the portable article to a stationary fixture. The anchor includes an internal member, an external member, and a means for securing them together. The internal member includes a right angle portion inside the portable article that is approximately parallel to the inside wall. The external member has a clamping surface that abuts the outer surface of the portable article and a knob for attachment of the tether. The external member has an aperture into which the internal member fits and is removably secured by a screw that extends through the external member and into a threaded hole in the internal member. The tether denies access to the screw when attached to the knob. The tether has a locking head with an opening for attachment to the knob and a cable extending from the locking head. Ball bearings extend securely into an annular groove in the knob when the locking head is in the locked state, and which are removable from the annular groove when in the unlocked state.
