I responded, "No iPad." He said, "See how easy that was." (BTW, kept my shoes on. I guess they were secure.)

Is there something less secure about an iPad than an Android tablet? Have I missed something? Does Apple know about this? Has anyone else encountered this at LHR or anywhere else? It's a first for me. I searched and found no other post on this issue.
This seems to be the security equivalent of the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
