Are there any SF stories that predicted the sort of attack via exploding

I wonder what effect these (news) stories will have on airport security
procedures. Up until now I haven't flown often so I was surprised
in August when the agent asked me if I had any tablets or laptops
in my carry-on and when I answered yes asked me
to take it out (a Kindle Fire) and place it in the tray to run
through the x-ray separately from the bag. I don't
recall this happening on a trip last November. My cell phone,
also in the bag, apparently was exempt from this scrutiny.
