I've taken my Mac SE through security at the Detroit airport several times.
Each time they asked me what was in the bag.  I opened it up, and told them it
was a computer.  They looked at it and let me go.  I had floppies all over the
place so maybe they were more inclined to believe me.  I also look like the
typical all-american college student so maybe that helped too, but I didn't
have any hassles.
