At the TSA screening station in SLC last year, my Vaio TR3A was already out of the padded case and onto a TSA plastic bin but I pushed the bin accidently off the table onto the floor and the laptop flew out of the bin. The case bowed slightly but the works are fine and the wi-fi seemed to actually work better than before (The power of imagination.) I did however resolve from that time on to ensure that the computer went on a "slower track". Part of the problem is that at many TSA lanes, table space is narrow and it's easy for the bins to be "over the edge".
