Your hand baggage, will in a way have to go through the security check twice, which increases the waiting time for both you and other travellers. The security inspector must detect on an X-ray that you have electronics in the bag, they must look for you and ask you to pick up the electronics, and then let it pass through the X-ray again.

The technology in the new security control in Terminal 5 at Stockholm Arlanda Airport is different from that in other security controls at Arlanda and Swedavia's other airports. It is this technology that allows travellers to keep liquids and electronics in their bag when going through security in Arlanda's Terminal 5. Liquids and electronics still have to be removed in other security controls.
