You can try putting things into the same bin as the computer. You can also try leaving the computer in its nylon sleeve. I'd bet, though, that if you do so you will be yelled at by the TSA at least 50% of the time (particularly for the nylon sleeve). It's called ineptitude -- er -- I mean consistent inconsistency -- er -- I mean, "Keeping the bad guys on their toes"
As for the Kindle -- no -- it's not a computer. Just leave it in your bag with the rest of your electronics.
