Cool, unfortunately linked threads always obvious so I didn't see it. No reason to be offended, it wasn't my intention to imply you were "making it up", was just giving you my experience. That said, I also flew 150k-ish miles a year pre-covid, mostly from small airports with international travel peppered in, and have experienced it at many places outside of just ONT and I've never once been told to remove my laptop because I was in "precheck-light".
