Comment on At the airport. The TSA thought my daughter's Hello Kitty carry-on was suspicious. [More in body.]
pepsison52895@lemmy.one 4 weeks agoI’ve only flown twice. My first time there was someone repeatedly announcing “leave your laptops in your bags” to everyone. When I get to the scanner, my bag was pulled and searched for 10 minutes. They then threw the bag back at me and scolded me for not removing my laptop.

You might know this already but if not, people who have TSA Precheck don’t need to remove their laptops or take off their shoes. Sometimes TSA guys will remind people of this in the precheck scanner line. It’s not always super clear which scanner line is the precheck line vs regular though and perhaps you were hearing the precheck instruction instead.

That’s definitely possible. I’ve only ever flown twice so I’m not exactly familiar with the process.
