Since I don't waste time and have pocket change, money clip, belt, etc. already secured in my bag before I get to the TDCer, sending the X100 through in it's own tub is not that big a deal (at least in the overall scheme of things).
I travel in a similar configuration (one 15" Lenova, one 15" Macbook Pro, one iPad) and I've never had to remove my ipad except once in China.

What *has* happened to me is that my money-clip has been inspected twice in the US:

Once as I was putting it into my laptop bag on at the tray because I forgot to pack it earlier. "Sir may I see that? <"Why?"> "That's appear to be a lot of money. Is it over $10,000?"

The second time for a reason still not apparent to me as it was the ONLY item in the only pocket they inspected.

YMMV I suppose. <sigh>
