I think that’s probably right. If you look at most modern laptops, they’re mostly battery with a small logic board. Many have soldered ram and tiny flash storage, all to try and maximize battery life in the smallest form factor possible. It’s not exactly the largest area ever to put explosives (compared to, say, cleaning out the innards of a 90’s era laptop), but I wager that’s where the concern is coming from, especially because I wonder how much a security screener can really differentiate between a densely packed battery cell and explosives anyway.
