> The fact that they let them continue on to their flight tells me that they didn't perceive them to be a security risk at the end of the process.

I’m having a bit of trouble understanding the rationale allowing continued travel, but not allowing continued travel with the laptop. Can anyone here shed a bit of light on this?

Perhaps they cued in on their nervousness, decided that they weren't a threat, but also decided that their laptop might contain evidence of a crime (e.g., industrial espionage).
