Checked Laptop likely to be checked by security (Score 1)

I checked my macbook pro a couple years ago. My baggage didn't arrive at destination with the other bags. I reported the missing bag to the airline, described its contents (ie included my macbook). They told me it is unusual for a laptop to be included in checked luggage and therefore was probably retained for increased inspection. Sure enough, it arrived on the next flight from Seattle covered with inspection stickers.
