What are you looking to do to foil a theft attempt?
And, if you are, a locking it to anything which is itself portable (like another bag) is futile.
This would appear to be someone who does not regularly travel with a laptop as many FT do, asking. The simple answer is, don't bother, this is a solution looking for a problem.
If it's really a problem, hire a companion to travel with you. Have them go through, send the laptop through, have them retrieve it, hand it back to you, fly with you to your destination and so the same thing on the return.
