With only one exception, that being the commuter concourse at Boston Logan,
I've never had my briefcase inspected.  In it I carry, a Tandy Model 100
(some would argue that it is not a 'laptop'), several handheld amateur 
radios, a hand held scanner, and all the chargers, battery packs, and 
appurtenances for such hardware.

The comment at Logan was choice, however.  The X-ray technician said to the
inspector, "You gotta take a look at this one!"  More amazement than anything
else.
