I carry my laptop, phone and cords in my backpack. When you get to check in they require computer, laptops, ipad, etc. to be removed from bags and placed in a bin by itself to be scanned. So whether you put it in your carryon or tote, you will need it to be handy enough to remove at check-in. I carry my wallet in my backpack. It is pretty safe. I find it is easy to keep an eye on your things as they go through the scanner. Hope this is helpful.
