According to Yahoo and Blogger Bob’s TSA Blog, you don’t need to get your iPad or any Slate type product out for screening.
The TSA state
“Electronic items smaller than the standard sized laptop should not need to be removed from your bag or their cases. It’s that simple.”
and
Only electronics the size of a standard laptop or larger (for example Playstation®, Xbox™, or Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and submitted separately for x-ray screening.
First pedantic point… what the heck is a “Standard sized laptop”?
Second pedantic point… who’s going to be first to take an iPad through a screening point and find they have to get it out to share with the world?
Third pedantic point… if you produce the evidence that it’s ok to keep in your bag will you get told “Do you wish to fly today?”
Comments and experiences welcome on this one – I have feeling THIS is going to run.
