| 350687 | 2005-04-30 12:46:00 | Jet passengers are X-rayed, Prop Passengers not (as stated the size of the plane, the potential for destruction). But at some airports (Christchurch, Auckland) all passengers are treated equally and carry-on is all x-rayed before you even get to departure. Wellington is X-rayed in each departure so it depends on plane size. They used to make you take the lappie out, not now it seems. Overseas I had to take the laptop out, boot it so they could see it work, shut it down, take out the battery and each bit was x-rayed separately, then put it back together.... But that has now been relaxed as well. Laptops are fine as carry-on but watch the 7.5 kilo one piece of carry on luggage only limit - they do police it hard from time to time. I whack mine into the checked luggage in my suitcase on overseas flights. |
