TSA question

I am flying tomorrow morning, and I have to bring two laptops with me (my personal one and my work one).

I'm not very comfortable checking a laptop, but would carrying two with me set off red flags with the TSA?

If you have a lot of peripherals, mice etc. Spaghetti tends to get a search!
