Re: Flying with a laptop
I tend ensure all items are fully charged and put the plug in the suitcase.
I carry my PSP, Camera, TomTom etc in my pocket then one I've checked in and passed through customs I put them in my laptop bag.

I recently saw them ask someone to switch on their laptop at Birmingham airport. It's either random or ethnicity has a deciding factor as none of the other passengers checking in at the same time weren't asked.
I always set the alarms off when I got through, so get a frisk and wave with the magic wand.. mind you I am part cyborg

That actually crossed my mind - I couldn't quite see a laptop getting clearance from the control tower at Heathrow..

I resisted that, but wondered how long it would be.

Re: Flying with a laptop
Another vote for in your cabin luggage.
The way they throw the hold luggage around you'd have a big chance of getting the laptop damaged.
As long as you have your inflight mode switched on, having your laptop on the plane is great. Watch a DVD, or play games and help the time to go quicker.
