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.

*****
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!

SC Tom


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.

See
http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/...rocedures.shtm
for more information.


Sorry, but you just must look like a terrorist!

Over the past 5 years I have flown to and from Baltimore, Las Vegas,
Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Kona, Honolulu, St. Louis, Phoenix,
Washington DC (DCA), Philadelphia, Reno, Minneapolis, Portland OR, Tokyo,
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London, and Barcelona and have never had to turn on
any of my electronic equipment, including the laptop that I always have with
me.

Yep, that hand sanitizer will cause all sorts of problems on a plane! ;-)

I think it's profiling. I'm 63, clean-shaven, and was wearing a Green Bay
sweatshirt in Savannah. Maybe I should sue :-)
I thought it was strange that the only places that did check were at the
beginning of each trip. I never got checked in Atlanta, Chicago, or DCA when
I changed planes.

Well of course that is profiling. Wearing a Green Bay sweatshirt when
travelling in Jaguar territory. What were you wearing when leaving Green
Bay? A Cowboy sweatshirt!

Would not be caught dead in Cowboy anything. My cold, lifeless body would

My apologies! As I don't have a favorite NFL team since the Colts left
Baltimore (a really cold and nasty day that was) I figured that the
combinations I gave could really get the ire up of the TSA screeners at
those airports.

Yep, those combos would have raised the ire of the locals, for sure.

Ah, yes, a cold and dark day it was. I went to many a Colt game in '79 and
'80 when I lived in Owings Mills. I still like the Colts, but I think it's
more the Peyton Manning mystique than the team itself, although they are a
formidable foe for anyone.

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.

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!

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.

See

for more information.


Sorry, but you just must look like a terrorist!

Over the past 5 years I have flown to and from Baltimore, Las Vegas,
Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Kona, Honolulu, St. Louis,
Phoenix, Washington DC (DCA), Philadelphia, Reno, Minneapolis,
Portland OR, Tokyo, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London, and Barcelona and
have never had to turn on any of my electronic equipment, including
the laptop that I always have with me.

Yep, that hand sanitizer will cause all sorts of problems on a plane!
;-)
I think it's profiling. I'm 63, clean-shaven, and was wearing a Green
Bay sweatshirt in Savannah. Maybe I should sue :-)
I thought it was strange that the only places that did check were at
the beginning of each trip. I never got checked in Atlanta, Chicago, or
DCA when I changed planes.


Well of course that is profiling. Wearing a Green Bay sweatshirt when
travelling in Jaguar territory. What were you wearing when leaving
Green Bay? A Cowboy sweatshirt!
Would not be caught dead in Cowboy anything. My cold, lifeless body would
probably spontaneously combust if it came in contact with Cowboy attire.
:-(



My apologies! As I don't have a favorite NFL team since the Colts left
Baltimore (a really cold and nasty day that was) I figured that the
combinations I gave could really get the ire up of the TSA screeners at
those airports.

Yep, those combos would have raised the ire of the locals, for sure.

Ah, yes, a cold and dark day it was. I went to many a Colt game in '79 and
'80 when I lived in Owings Mills. I still like the Colts, but I think it's
more the Peyton Manning mystique than the team itself, although they are a
formidable foe for anyone.

I just do continental USA flying with a couple of tourist hotspots in
Mexico. While I have not had to actually turn on my laptop when passed
through the security checkpoint for several years, I have had to always
remove it from whatever enclosure it was within and lay it atop that
enclosure. And that was AFTER the August 2008 change when I was flying in
Nov 2008, Dec 2008, Feb 2009, and June 2009. Guess it depends on how lax or
tight is security at the time (threat level), who are the personnel doing
the checks, and how you fit into their profiling.

The TSA guidelines are just that: guidelines. The security folks still get
to make their own decisions. From the TSA site: "Purchasing one of these
bags will not guarantee that you can leave your laptop in your bag for
screening" and "most current laptop bags will not present a clear X-ray
image and should not be sent through the X-ray with the laptop inside." The
security folks don't distinguish between "bags" and "sleeves". It's hidden
inside some container is all they care about and whether they expect it can
be correctly X-rayed (which they won't know until after they try).

I'm glad I wasn't the guy in front of me in the security line who they made
disrobe down to his boxer shorts and socks and stand in the open right after
the body scanner. Ah, yes, checkpoints: the guise of a gov't pretending to
protect so to get their populace used to checkpoints.

A sleeve does NOT *automatically* fit in their guidelines (for guaranteed
exclusion to inspection by removal). Read the guidelines again. If the
security folks want you to remove it, you will remove it.
