Are laptops being questioned now in the UK when going through security? I would assume that they are probably wiping every laptop and doing the explosive check that they do...
No, in the UK they aren't checking laptops, they are insisting they all go in the hold. And to answer another question: That includes Disk drives and memory cards (and all other electrical items).
The UK's objective is mainly having a very short list of what's allowed, to speed up searching at security by reducing the quantity of items.
Plus "liquids", even when purchased inside the airport, being added to a blacklist for Transatlantic flights *both* ways.
You may find more scrutiny of electrical items if your travel originates outside the UK, but the main issue here is the complete ban, outbound.
