   I wonder what effect these (news) stories will have on airport security   
   procedures. Up until now I haven't flown often so I was surprised   
   in August when the agent asked me if I had any tablets or laptops   
   in my carry-on and when I answered yes asked me   
   to take it out (a Kindle Fire) and place it in the tray to run   
   through the x-ray separately from the bag. I don't   
   recall this happening on a trip last November. My cell phone,   
   also in the bag, apparently was exempt from this scrutiny.
