RIS
If you rely on others, you are doomed.
"The issue remains though is asked to remove a laptop / netbook from your bag. How do you keep an eye on it if it goes to the X-Ray machine before you?"
1. As much as you can, hold the box until the personal scanner you walk through is free, put the box on the conveyor and go through personal scanner.
And if you have done the right thing and removed all metal beforehand,
you will get to the other side before your laptop.
It's all about timing.
And in all cases, keep an eye on it anyway !!!
Keep an eye on who is ahead of you in the queue and move position
in the queue if anyone ahead looks like they might be a hold up
- ie metal on shoes, lots of jewelery, big fat greek wedding guests etc,
older, slower moving people, you know all the one's I mean.
Just work the system to YOUR advantage, not theirs.
Every system can be played, so play it.
