It's much, much easier for an iPad to be "misplaced" by a TSO than it is for an entire laptop. I will always, always leave mine in the bag, locked. If that becomes an issue at a checkpoint in the future, so be it. I'll gladly tell them where the key is (or hand it to them, if I've been through AIT) once the bag is out of the x-ray and in my sight.
