You have to take the laptop out of its case, so the case and the laptop go through the x-ray machine separately. That's all.

True but we did get to the front of all the queues when people saw cases with bright orange stickers saying "explosives" and "firearms" all over them.

Basically there were 9 of us in a group of 12 (the other 3 were WAB - wives and brothers) shooting in the 07 World Championships so had to get our shotguns out there.

I didn't know US airport security measures have gone that far, now that's too bad for the people around me when I go back to US.

If I pass then I have another year left of the degree then have my job offer to accept which is near London - to qualify again I'd have to make regular trips back to Wales. Possible but the way things are going I have little time to do anything... Suppose it's good in a way.
