Anyone own a laptop here? Well if you do and have taken it through airport security, could you share your experience? Did the security gaurds want to dismantle it on the spot? Also does the xray machine or metal detectors harm the laptop at all?
Generally they let laptops bypass the x-ray machine. I suppose it depends on the airport, and whether the security guard checking
you had a bad day earlier, etc. I generally shave before I take any flight, because my beard makes me look middle-eastern. (I’ve
been stopped once for looking "suspicious". I shudder to think how I would’ve been treated if I actually were middle-eastern…)
At least they’re not quite as jittery as they were a year ago. (You don’t have to worry about bringing fingernail-clippers on board
anymore…) Oh, if it’s an international flight, you should probably report your laptop to customs, so they don’t charge you
tariffs when you come back. Just something I’d heard.
