I flew out though Wellington last week, and was told I could keep my laptop in my bag, no doubt due to the new CT scanners.
I know Auckland has these at the International terminal, but have they reached domestic yet? where else in the country?

The three cities that I fly though a lot ( Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) always have full screening to each other. No screening flying to regional airports though.
Ah that will be it, I’m only ever flying to the regional ones.
