TSA to Allow Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Cases

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Transportation

Skooba CheckthroughThere’s good news for travelers. The Transportation Security Administration will soon allow those with laptops to leave them inside their “checkpoint friendly” cases. In order to qualify, the cover must have a designated laptop-only section that would lie flat when it rolls through the X-ray machine. It cannot have metal zippers, snaps, buckles, or inner pockets. The new rule will take effect Aug. 16. Already approved are bags from Mobile Edge, Tagus, and the Skooba Design Checkthrough that will become available in the next few weeks.

For all of you who don’t want to rush out and spend $100 or more for one of these MAYBE “checkpoint friendly” bags, take a look at LapStrap.

For $25 you can use LapStrap with your existing bag.

Whether you are forced to take your laptop out in a security line, or if you just want to quickly carry your laptop to your next meeting or coffee shop, LapStrap allows you to lightly carry your laptop over your shoulder and frees up both hands.
