Hi folks,

Travelling with an ipad for the first time in a couple of weeks ... Stupid question (probably) but what's the procedure through security with them?

is it like a laptop, out of bag and sleeve and through the xray machine on its own or ...different?

Thanks

I wouldn't call it stupid, I have been asked to take iPad out just like a laptop through security.

Have seen people having hand luggage rescanned as iPad wasn't removed.

It's just treated like a lap-top (ie has to go through the x-ray on it's own).

I always just leave my iPad in the same holder as my MacBook and send them both through together but for the first time ever, on travelling through LGW on a domestic flight last month, I was asked to put them through individually.

Thanks you two!

My laptop is in a neoprene sleve and have had no problems with it but they do like it in a tray of its own.

That's the same type of case I have as well.

Have not yet been asked to take my iPad out of my bag and nothing has been said after leaving it in my bag going through security.

Ditto - never taken or being asked to take my iPad out of my hand luggage when going through security.

The kids portable dvd players also get need to be taken out and scanned seperatley as well. At least at LGW and LHR
