Wrapping cords?

How doesn't it make it bulkier, it consolidates the space for other stuff and I can quickly pick up my chager rather than well the extra few precious seconds at an airport. However, even so, I have a tendency of being paranoid of what the TSA'd flag, telling agents in advance while in the nudoscope objects it might flag, and every time later finding out I was right. . One part of that is when, even in precheck, I'll still take chargers out and treat them like electronics -it saves a ton of my time w/ possible crap I might face and so far have had a nice record of avoiding any annoying stops by an incompetent agent.

If you have a laptop case, just save yourself the burden. But, yeah, I've definitely not heard of a wrapped charger causing any issues. I will admit, the display flags things and has a colored overlay for things of interest from what I can see. So, I guess it kinda' makes sense.

Just wish we could just skip all this crap.. We've gotten to the point that the biggest target for an attack isn't the plane, but the actual checkpoint itself.
