Blogger Bob with the TSA announced recently that electronic items smaller than the standard size laptop should not need to be removed from their bag or case when going through airport security. They didn’t say specifically what that standard size is, but did name a few items specifically that would fall below the size threshold have having to be removed, namely iPads, Kindles, Neos, Nooks, Sony Readers and Netbooks.
This certainly doesn’t mean that you don’t need to take things out of your bag if asked when going through security, but it is good news to hear since removing and donning all your gear again is sometimes tough enough.

In the last year I have done about 175,000 miles. And every time I go through security in every country including the US I have to pull out the Kindle. In fact the security person looks kind of annoyed that I hadn’t pulled it out in advance when they asked for laptops to be removed.
