Practical advice about losing it: I put mine in the bin with my shoes. It is a smaller laptop and it and the shoes fit in the bin together without overlapping. I only forget the laptop if I forget my shoes.
Not so practical, but possibly effective to prevent some theft: I was once at a CP and the person in front of me had a small bottle of water in a camera bag. He had slipped it in the bin with the computer up near the edge. After the xray, the TSO was dutifully watching the computer and the camera bag. Took out the water, threw it away, and the passenger was on his way with his computer. Brilliant. |
it's a 17" lap top (size does matter!) so it won't fit with my shoes. LOL

I saw an elaborate setup not too long ago. Someone had two laptops in one of those wheeled laptop bags. Both laptops were pulled out of the case and were attached with the cable lock to the wheeled laptop bag. The laptops were placed in separate bins and pushed into the x-ray machine in this order - laptop, bag, laptop.
The owner opted out. It took two TSA blue shirts to carry his setup to the opt out area. When I was travelling in the USA earlier this year this was exactly the technique I used with great success. I also opted out and the TSA clerk had no problems gathering my stuff. |
