Going through the better safety airport has never been fun especially if you are carrying your laptop. But according to the news below, soon the checks will probably become less stressful.
At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, one of the world's largest airports, they began testing new hand baggage scanners that do not require travelers to remove large electronic devices or liquids from their luggage. 
If you have ever traveled with a laptop, you will know that you should take it out of its case, and place it in a separate basket. The same thing happens with the perfumes found in your luggage, or of any other kind liquid.
The new technology currently being tested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport can locate and control the above without pulling out of your bag.
The new ClearScan devices provide security staff with 360-degree views of the contents of each bag, instead of the common top-down view of X-rays. This allows security personnel to controln the luggage from all sides, and have a more accurate picture of the passenger's belongings.
Of course, you should always place the liquids in some airtight plastic packaging, but you should not remove them anymore from your luggage.
As you can see, if the new ClearScan devices are eventually used in all airports around the world, they will give security personnel a better view of what passengers are carrying without wasting the time required to permissionof each piece of luggage.
