Changes to Nexus security line -- laptops out of carry-on
Going through the Nexus security line at YYZ Transborder, we were told that we need to take out our laptops from our carry-ons. Upon inquiring, I was told by the CATSA screener that the policy changed today. The other benefits (jackets/shoes stay on) were not changed.
Anyone else run into this ?

I'm always asked at YOW/YYZ (domestic) to take the laptop out.
Last month while traveling to IST, I had 2 surface pros, one Samsung 10.1 tablet, and one laptop, plus a whole bunch of smartphones [all for work... network testing], but was only asked to take the laptop out.

CATSA is about as consistent, predictable and useful as a fart in the wind. The line at YYC is usually pretty good, but YWG is an ongoing joke...at least for the 45 minutes/day they actually man the dedicated line.

Last couple of times I have been lazy and left my liquids in my bag. No one has said a thing. So now, it stays in my bag!

I think yyzsfoflyer is talking about the precheck-like lane at YYZ. Don't think they have that at YOW, YYC or YWG or do they?
And if it is the precheck line, it would be a shame if we now have to take out our laptops.

The last few times I've gone through, shoes stayed on (and this is a US flight) and laptop stayed in my bag.

Ditto. And liquids and gels stayed in my bag. If you have TSA Pre✓ does laptop stay in your bag? Is this a different lane? I guess I will find out next week.

Flew out of YYC two days ago and used the Nexus line. Told to take laptops and liquids out. Was told I could leave my shoes on but they have big metal bars in them so I always take them off anyway.
YYZ is the only Nexus line which consistently says "in".
