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! Jo-Anne |

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

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. -- Adrian C |

These days certain laptop containers don't have to be opened, but I wasn't sure if any sleeve automatically fit the requirements. Jo-Anne |

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. Jo-Anne |

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.
