Flying with the iPad

[dmccloud]

I actually have a backpack that's checkpoint-friendly, so I just unzip the laptop compartment, lie the bag flat and leave the iPad inside. No issues at all with TSA.

Flown to London twice, Paris, Vienna, Toronto, and New York. 50% of the time I have to take it out, 50 % not. I usually just take t out anyway as I usually just have a small messenger bag as carry on and it's not a big deal.

In my experience (Delta Diamond two million miler), security at LHR, CDG, FCO, PVG, BKK, ITM, KIX, HND and NRT always require it to be removed.

In the USA, I have never been asked to remove it at any airport (but 90% of my flights are to Asia or Europe)

On the other hand I haven't had to take my shoes off at any non-US airport.

Technically you should remove it just like any computer but I have been able to leave it in my bag a few times. When in doubt, take it out.

Wrong

I'm a frequent flier.

Leave it in your bag no need to take it out 😎

Newark is the only airport in which I had to take it out 100% of the time. Most airports don't care if you leave it in the bag unless X-rays sees cords headphone wires stacked on your iPad. Of course TSa is TSa and they change up things all of the time.

To and from Vegas you can likely leave ONE iPad in your carryon. If you have two (one yours/other is wifey's) likely not going to work as they don't want anything above/below the iPad for scanning purposes.

I fly all over the world with mine. Outside of the USA its always a required removal. Of course, in some countries (Israel) they shoot Macbook Pro's also. They are really anti-Apple there.
