I personally think it'd be dang near impossible to get a gun in a laptop. With most laptops being less than 1.5" thick, it'd be really difficult to get a gun in one of those without it being obvious.
I posted the reason to the question. The posting of the pictures was nothing more than for your entertainment value. I gave no indication either way if it was in or out of the bag that it would make a difference. They are removed so that nothing has the potential of being hidden as laptops have a tendency to have parts in them that the x-ray has a hard time going thru.
If it is out of the bag, it eliminates any possibility for an item to be hidden.
As far as hiding a gun in a laptop, for the most part I agree with you. In fact, I think it would be hard enough to hide that it would deter from the effort to do so. We carry enough other stuff on us on a day to day basis that would be much easier to high a weapon in.
