netbook sleeves

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I can't think of
anywhere else: If I take my netbook to the airport in a standard sleeve,
rather than a special case, do I need to remove it from the sleeve to get
through security? I checked the TSA site but couldn't tell. (If there's a
better place to ask this question, please let me know.)

Thank you!

I would imagine that the requirements would be the same as any notebook-
take it out and turn it on so they can see that it works.

Tom when was the last time you flew? I haven't had to do that in the last 6
years, either nationally or internationally.

To the OP. Most sleeves allow the laptop to be left in but if it has
anything else in the sleeve like a pen, cables, etc then it has to be taken
out of the sleeve. The sleeve with the laptop inside must still be placed
in a bin and passed through security screening just like if it was out of
the sleeve.

for more information.

Have a program auto run on startup.

An animated display of six large red LED digits counting down from a
couple of minutes, will be enough to show that it's a real laptop
capable of running complex programs and not something dodgy.

Thank you, SC Tom! These days certain laptop containers don't have to be
opened, but I wasn't sure if any sleeve automatically fit the requirements.

Thank you, LV Travel! I think I had been to that TSA webpage but still
wasn't sure. Your note about removing anything else from the sleeve helps
tremendously. I gather also after a more careful reading at the TSA page
that the sleeve itself can't contain any pockets if the laptop is to be left
inside it.

Thank you, Adrian! I think things have changed recently. Now the TSA claims
it can tell a computer from something else just by looking at the X-ray
image. So with the proper laptop bag, one needn't open even the bag.

I flew from Savannah to Green Bay last Thanksgiving, and had to turn it on
in Savannah on the way up, and then again in Green Bay on the way back. It
didn't need to boot all the up, just show the splash screen. In GB, they
even took my 1 ounce bottle of hand sanitizer because I didn't have it in a
ZipLoc bag!
