Speed Thru Airport Security
Taking a laptop out of a bag to go through an airport security checkpoint can be a hassle; it’s just one more thing that needs to be removed, (and hopefully you’re the one who picks it up at the other end!). Luggage companies are pairing up with the TSA and have produced new kind of laptop bag. These bags adequately allow the TSA to scan your bag and laptop while the laptop remains in the bag, or attached to the bag. Many brands are beginning to include these adaptations, in briefcases, rolling briefs, backpacks and messenger bags.
Eagle Creek’s Global Commuter bag is a spacious nylon laptop bag with plenty of extra space and a sleeve to slip over a pull-handle of another bag, while still remaining casual. This bag’s laptop compartment opens butterfly style to allow the TSA access without removing your laptop. (An unusual feature in this bag is the option of using the tuck-away backpack straps, instead of the removable shoulder strap – it’s your choice.)
Briggs and Riley makes a variety of bags that feature what they call the “Speed Thru” System. Both their @ Work and Verb series have pieces that use the system in backpacks, messenger bags, briefcases, and rolling business cases. All Briggs and Riley bags are covered by a lifetime, no matter what guarantee, and are a great option for any business person or tech-savvy traveler. (They even cover dog bite!)
Victorinox and Solo both make spacious nylon bags that will hold a laptop, charger, documents, and more. Both of these bags are durable and lightweight, with an easily accessible TSA approved laptop pocket. We also carry TSA approved laptop bags in leather! With several colors, tons of organizational pockets, and the durability that is the result of top grain leather, this bag is a wonderful, enduring option.
For the road warrior, the businessman, or the traveler, a TSA approved laptop pocket can cut down on the hassle at the airport. Come see the selection at California Luggage Company, 609 4th Street, Santa Rosa, CA, check us out on www.califluggage.com, or call us at (800) 528-5799.
