Why hasn't commercial air travel gotten any faster since the 1960s? (2009)

Also because the drill is less likely to change at random.

I did have to take my laptop out of my bag flying out of JFK the year before last and they said you could only have one electronic in your bag even with TSA Precheck.

That hasn’t happen before or since. At that time I had a client laptop, my company’s laptop (working in consulting), my iPad, and an external USB powered portable monitor in my carryon.

Yeah, that's not normal. I usually have a laptop and iPad and haven't had to take one out with Pre-Check in the US.
