Are you not required to remove laptops from sleeves while sending through the scanner?

  No you don't. As a nomad I fly a lot, and I always leave my laptop in its waterproof bag.

    As a settler that travels ocassionaly I am often required to open or even turn on my laptop at the security check.

      Where is this? I'ma frequent flyer, and have never once been sled to open my laptop nor have I ever seen anyone asked to do so (outside a short period after 9/11)

        Europe, mostly flying to/from Slovenia.

          To/from UK I've been asked "back then" when the craze started; in the last 4 years, never once. Which is correct: they are not scanning the laptop but rather the bag which the laptop would obstruct. Once it's out it doesn't really matter how it's packaged.
