As Doppy just mentioned, we value our laptops and will put them somewhere in the middle of the stuff... not at the beginning, not at the end.
Hmm--I do shoes, luggage, laptop, which apparently was the DEN suggestion. I don't let go of my laptop until the WTMD is available, and I don't go through the WTMD until my laptop is through the flappers. If they scan the bags quick, I retrieve the laptop first. If they are slow, I put my shoes on. IMO that allows me max control over the most stealable item.
Under circumstances with pax that have a clue and with the 2nd-chance WTMD rule, I think the idea of 2 x-ray per wtmd is worth investigation. WTMD doesn't seem to have many backups these days.
But if there are a lot of clueless pax with keys/coins, or if TSA (secretly) jacks up the sensitivity on the WTMD to enforce the upcoming no-lighter rules, I don't think the idea has a chance.
