Thanks for posting that. I’ve been wondering for the last week if TSA officials would stop me with one of these bags. It’s a lot of money if it doesn’t work. Good to hear most people have had great experiences.

I just did a blog on these bags as corporate gifts, thought you might like to read some of the options out there- http://www.corporate-gift-trends.blogspot.com

As for you, Edward- you should report that. The worst thing that could come of it is an apology. The best thing would be flight vouchers!

I was traveling thru San Antonio, TX at 5am on Monday Sept 20th, the TSA screener ahead of the X-Ray machine saw my TSA firendly laptop bag, a back pack with a butterfly portion for the laptop… I was told to take it out, I gently said that this was the approved TSA friendly bag and used this bag thru JFK , LaGuardia, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, etc, I was angrily told that this was San Antonio and ” that” bag was not okay. I pulled the Laptop out,, at the other end of the conveyor belt I asked another TSA female agent why San Antonio was different, before she could answer, the initial TSA agent, ( Miguel Fuentes) said that If I did not change my tone he would make sure I did not fly this morning.. I did not complain on site, was afraid i would end up in handcuffs for ” interfering with a federal officer”

Full disclosure: I work for Mobile Edge and we have three Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bag styles to choose from. Priced at $99 and backed by a Lifetime Warranty, what is there not to like.

I personally have tested each case with TSA officials, and are all TSA compliant. I traveled several times with the ScanFast Backpack and honestly, traveling through security was never easier. Luckily I had business cards on me because everyone around me was jealous and wanted one.

Skooba is finally taking pre-orders for its Checktrhough bag (http://www.skoobadesign.com/product/checkthrough-40/), for delivery in 7 or 8 weeks. Wish the wait wasn’t so long, but looks the nicest of all the Checkpoint-Friendly bags I’ve seen so far.

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.

http://www.TheLapStrap.com

For $25 you can use LapStrap with your existing bag or even by itself.

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.

I used a CT3 case on a trip recently through 4 airports. At three airports I laid the case on the conveyor belt with no mention of my computer and the case was accepted and scanned without incident. At the fourth I noted that I had a laptop in my case. I was asked to remove it but offered a polite challenge that my case adhered to the new laptop procedures and I was permitted to run the case through without incident. Retrieval on the other side was a simple grab and go. I was on my way before several people before me had gathered their things.

That said, taking out the laptop is just an extra piece of cargo you have to look after, along with your carry-on bag, shoes, jackets, wallet… A pain, really. I’m glad the bag worked.
