Microsoft Surface - does it count as a tablet or a laptop to the TSA?

I will be travelling a lot between the US and Canada, so need to decide between Surface or Macbook.

It may depend on the airport. When I flew last Christmas, the Austin airport had a sign exempting the Surface Pro from being put in a separate bin (you could leave it in your backpack), which implies they thought it was less risky.

The reports I've seen distinguish between phones and everything else. If this ban goes into effect, expect to see phablet sales skyrocket!
