Anyone get dinged for having an iPad going through security?

[Best Aunt]

DD was always getting dinged and she has almost NOTHING in her park bag. A security guard at Disney Springs told her it's her eyeglasses case, where she either has her glasses or sunglasses. Now she holds it in front of her as she goes thru the lines and has no problem.

My theory is that if your glass case closes, it probably has a magnetic clasp. I think that's what sets it off when going through security. It's hard to find glass cases which do not have a magnetic clasp, unless the cases are made of fabric (in which case they probably won't protect your glasses from getting smashed around in your bag).

We put ours in a bag with a lock on it. We have done this about 20 times. Never once have we had an issue.

I know you can hold devices out in front of you but I'd prefer not to with an ipad. On our arrival day I do not anticipate our room being ready before we hit the park. I do not want to leave my ipad in my luggage. I'll carry it in my park backpack.

I'm hoping I do not have to get searched because of it. My Osprey bag has a ton of tiny pockets and they have to check every single one. I know because a cheap metal mint tin set off the detector before.

Never an iPad but my umbrella used to get me every time.
