Will they ask to turn on my laptop at the airport?

Since security has gotten more serrious, i wanted to know if the x-ray isnt enough, Will they make me turn it on???
Also my laptop is really freakin slow when it boots up(at least 3 min.), but for other things it will work fairly fast.

They usually only make you turn it on if you forget to take it out and put it in its own tray when it goes through the x-ray machine.

If they do ask you to boot it up, they usually just want to know that it actually boots up (instead of just being an empty shell or whatever).

I fly almost 100 times a year, and have my laptop most of the time with me. They have never asked me to turn it on going through security.

I only travelled with my laptop once about 6 years ago and tehy made me turn it on...USA going into Canada.

On domestic flights within the United States, they will not ask you to turn on your laptop. Just make sure you take it out of the case. If you don't they will become more critical and examine it in their little security booth but still might not actually turn it on.

Overseas flights may be different.. I have yet to encounter it though.


generalteh
generally yes. u also could leave it on untill you get to security and then when then after they see it on u can turn it off. but thats a thought. better asking at the airport or something


inesmon
I always travel with my laptop.
Remember to put in on the tray, without it´s case and they will not ask you to turn it on.
Only once, last year in Argentina I was asked to turn it on in the last check in before boarding the plane but this was an
exception, and if it takes long don´t worry, they won´t hurry you.


Roni
Just make sure you take it out of your bag and put it in a container. They might inspect it but they won't ask you to turn it on.
