Slightly off topic but security related. Is there someone with more knowledge than me who can answer why a laptop needs to be taken out of it's bag for an x-ray? I thought the idea of such a machine was that it can see through objects like canvas carrying cases.
What's worse is that sometimes security want it out of bag, sometimes in bag, my last trip to Oz via Dubai/Brunei involving 6 flights was an exact 50/50 split between the in and out brigade. Makes no sense to me!
