I didn't want to, but she rushed with the laptop bag before I could protest, while other TSO was handsearching my other bag (with expensive cameras and lenses in it). I was still shoeless and taking care of my other stuff and cameras. Laptop was still in a bin close to me. Laptop bag contained a brand new 1 Terabyte portable hard drive and a GPS (these items valued at $360, also my brand new laptop bag for which I had paid $100 the day before!!!). But I didn't want to run after her shoeless and pretty much clothesless. It took more than 5 minutes to see my laptop bag again. This episode at LAX was 10 times more painful than security at YVR going to the US, but my 2 bottles of hand & body lotion managed to slip past. Amazing.
