Can the laptop stay in, regardless of whether it's one of those special TSA friendly laptop bags, or will it need to come out?
Thanks for the advice.
It stays in, unless you are doing expedited (terminals where they don't have room for a dedicated lane, or when a PreCheck lane is closed). Then it comes out, but usually you can keep your freedom baggie in.

Although unfortunately, Pre-Check or no Pre-Check, my boots will need to come off if I go through a metal detector, the steel shank has a tendency to set those things off.
You'd be surprised on the boots thing.

What randomizer?
