Passing through airport security has never been fun especially if you are transferring your laptop. However, according to the following news, soon the controls will become less stressful.
At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, one of its largest airports world, began testing new carry-on scanners that don't require travelers to remove large electronic devices or liquids from their luggage. 
If you've ever traveled with a laptop, you'll know that you should take it out case of, and place it in a separate basket. The same goes for perfumes in your luggage, or any other kind of 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 the security staff to check the luggage from all sides, and have a more accurate one picture from 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 understand if the new ClearScan devices are eventually used at all airports in the world, they will offer security staff a better view of what passengers carry without wasting the time required to empty each bag.
