Usually -- unless you're flying southwest. :-D
Ah, Southwest--where you're only assigned A, B, or C. ;-)
And *all* laptops come with bricks on leashes anyway...
Yes, but significantly lighter and smaller. Maybe not different
technologically, but different enough to confuse the intellectuals
hired by TSA. You don't want to confuse TSA when you are trying to
catch a flight in a hurry.
Tell me about it!
Last July I carried a 17-board AppleCrate with me from Seattle to
Kansas City. There were two problems:
1) The TSA had never seen one (an issue at MCI) and had to have it
unwrapped (a 10-minute job times 2).
2) The 'Crate was about 1" too thick to fit in an overhead bin, so
I required an accommodating cabin attendant to place it in the
closet. (I was successful on all four flight segments! ;-)
Frankly, the device was sufficiently "technical" (and so was I ;-)
that their viewing of the 'Crate actually seemed more to satisfy
their curiosity (after seeing the radar image) then to investigate
any possible "threat".
