“Checkpoint friendly” laptop cases

When you travel, all you want to do is get on a plane and get to your destination. Unfortunately, check-in lines and security checks can eat into your free time and make travel a hassle, especially when you are traveling with a laptop.

About 70% of business travelers travel with their laptops, then getting it out of the case, putting it in a bin and packing it up again can take time that you just don’t have. But what if you didn’t have to unpack your laptop to have it scanned? The Transport Security Administration has approved new “checkpoint friendly” laptop cases to help speed up the process. According to the New York Times:

“The new cases include either a fold-down section in a bigger briefcase or a stand-alone protective sleeve that contains no extra clutter and can be readily viewed through the scanner.”

Manufacturers are rushing to produce these new bags, with several examples already available.

  1. These would be convenient. I currently have to get three bins when I go to the airport. These bags would reduce my need by one bin. Thanks for sharing!
