I would not, but quite a lot of HN readers might.

I suppose that if you don’t know how to use the computer as anything more than a tablet with a keyboard and mouse, it probably makes little difference.

Airport security used to go ape when they scanned my personal bag. Nowadays it seems they have largely accepted that yes, two people might need two laptops, two tablets, four phones (primary plus backup for each), two eInk readers, two cameras, at least two USB battery banks, and a giant bag of chargers and cables for everything, but at least I’m not caught flat-footed if things go south.

It’s heavy, it’s not fun to carry, but it does the job. And neither of us works in tech.
