Good news for iPad-owning travelers: the Transportation Security Administration says thatyou won’t have to remove Apple’s magical and revolutionary device from your bagwhile you go through airport security. That’s the official word, at least, but I can just picture the helpful staff (…) at Newark or JFK demanding you remove it from your bag anyway.
That’s in a best-case scenario. The TSA says you may have to remove the iPad from your bag if its agents can’t get a clear view of it as it passes though the scanning machine. In that case, you’ll be asked to remove it from your bag—after the fact, I guess. That will delay your progress and annoy everyone behind you.
Is there any more high-pressure situation than making it through airport security in a timely fashion without any major issues?
Not for nothing, but it almost seems like it’d be easier to remove the iPad from your bag and place it in a separate bin than it would be to try your luck, hoping the planets align in such a way that allows the TSA staff to pass through without incident.
