If you're a journalist or an activist, fly with a chromebook. Carry minimal sensitive info anyway. Put it in an encrypted USB—always on you.

Any article to link? I don't see how cargo is scanned any more stringently than carry on.

It isn't necessarily (varies by airport) but you have confused turning on/off laptops with a host of other safety scenarios
