Not a problem in US, the X-ray devices show the operator a view X, Y and Z axis so sandwich isn't a problem. And if there is an uncertainty, it can be checked manually. A separate bin per bigger device would increase the queue length.

That would still be a problem. A side shot of the sandwich doesn't fix the fact that there's no good top shot.

Tsa has not allowed items on top of the laptops for a long time and this has been heavily enforced ime.
