Hmm...don't they check what you're carrying PRIOR to going through security. I always have 1 carry-on and 1 backpack and 1 laptop (sleeve). On my way to security (prior to TSA), I have to put the laptop into my backpack (which fits just fine)....and then take it out for inspection....and then put it back in prior to going through the gate.
