I have not been asked to boot my computer in some time.
They just Xray them.

Nine years ago, when boarding a plan in San Juan, I was asked to
boot a laptop I was carrying with me to prove it was what it appeared to be.
Tomorrow I want to take a laptop with me on a flight to
Indianapolis. My concern is that the "on" button is very worn and
sometimes it takes some effort to power it up. This would be
disastrous if I had to do it with hundreds of passengers waiting
behind me in line.
Recent inquiries both personal and on line have failed to uncover
any knowledge of being asked to do this in recent times.
Does anybody have any experience with this? I travel relatively
seldom, and almost never with a laptop.
Thanks!
