Before my trip to LA last year, I didn’t hear anyone say anything like that till my lap top had already been scanned. I don’t know if it was that, or just damage during the trip because luggage gets thrown around (one time I got back luggage where all the contents inside were totally fucked) but the computer definitely didn’t work as well afterwards. Lots of problems suddenly came up.
Traveled with a PS2 when I went to Alaska though and that came out fine, indeed indeed
