Laptop HD leaking oil ??

I think this is total unmitigated BS, but let me know what you think.

Dropped my daughter at ORD T3 tonight. Security lines were short, but her (new) laptop alarmed. It took them multiple swab tests and 45 minutes to clear her. At the end they claimed that "oil from the computer hard drive sometimes leaks and that causes it to register as explosives".

Maybe she needs to take it to Jiffy Lube?
