Do they let you put your shoes in a backpack? Usually they want the shoes in their own bin.
Of course, they do not usually take spare shoes out of bags to double check them.
I put my valuables and wallet in my bag before I get to the checkpoint. I close that zipper with a paper clip. That way it is not easy for anyone to open without having to fidget with it.
I hope paper clips haven't been outlawed.

I use industrial cable ties to seal up my bag. I carry a toenail clipper in an outside pocket for removal.

I travel in a similar configuration (one 15" Lenova, one 15" Macbook Pro, one iPad) and I've never had to remove my ipad except once in China.
What *has* happened to me is that my money-clip has been inspected twice in the US:
Once as I was putting it into my laptop bag on at the tray because I forgot to pack it earlier. "Sir may I see that? <"Why?"> "That's appear to be a lot of money. Is it over $10,000?"
The second time for a reason still not apparent to me as it was the ONLY item in the only pocket they inspected.
YMMV I suppose. <sigh>
