I go between BNA and LAX on a regular basis and have never seen anyone suggest that I do anything other than take my two laptops out and give them each a bin. iPod is in my briefcase; BlackBerry is in my briefcase also unless I forget to take it off, in which case I put it in a bin with one of the PCs; NeatReceipts scanner is in my rollaboard with two laptop adapters and assorted cords. Never a problem.

A bin of electronics all lying flat and not stacked on each other will allow the TSOs to see what they need to see. Anything else is overkill and slows up the flow through the checkpoint.
