What should passengers do with their electronics during security screening?

During security screening, passengers are required to remove larger electronics, such as laptops and tablets, from their bags for separate screening. This process allows security personnel to closely examine these devices more thoroughly, as they can obstruct the view of other items in the bag when placed together. By removing larger electronics, the screening equipment can more effectively identify any potential security threats and ensure a smoother flow of the screening process.

Keeping all electronics in their bags can hinder the ability of the screening equipment to accurately assess each item, leading to potential delays or complications. Handing electronics directly to security personnel is not a standard procedure since the screening system is designed to analyze items within the designated conveyor belt. Packing electronics in checked baggage is also not recommended as it limits immediate access to valuable items and is not in accordance with regulations for larger devices during security checks.
