The picture included with the post is pretty useless considering that's not the feature of this bag you're really concerned about.

The bag separates the laptop and everything else in two "clamshell" halves of the bag, attached at the handle. The little blue-tagged zipper unzips the two halves so that it lies flat in the X-ray machine. No need to remove the laptop from the case, and just grab the handle on the other end, and it quickly folds back up into a bag-shape.

The new TSA rules say that as long as the laptop is in its own compartment with nothing else in it (no metal, no zippers, no power supplies, etc), it can go thru X-ray if the bag can open flat exposing the laptop separately from the remainder of the bag.]]>Nov 6th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/
I'm thinking I might wear these bags as shoes.]]>Nov 6th 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/Nov 7th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/
Seriously. Maybe 25% of people fly with a laptop but 100% fly with shoes.


I bet if i wandered around an airport with no shoes security would question me too!

@ trooper - Agree 100%. Though things have gotten a *little* better since the TSA opened their website to people posting public complaints, enforcement is still varied.

@ gunner - Either you're lying, you're incredibly lucky (lazy TSA agents every time), or simply have nothing else in the laptop case to begin with. I've been in a rush and forgotten once or twice - and the TSA agent took my bag off the belt through their trap door, removed the laptop, and ran both through for a second round.]]>Nov 6th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/
If you drop this thing and it falls with the weighted side down, you can kiss your laptop goodbye.

At least the Tom Binh (and no I wouldn't buy it), is a trifold and keeps the laptop in the center.

Given all the junk I tend to carry (USB Wifi, Power bar, Mouse, Ethernet cable, iPod USB cable, phone, phone USB cable, USB extender cable...) I've often had to take a lot of stuff out of my laptop bag to get through security. These "solutions" assume you aren't carrying a whole lot else.

trooper--100% agree. where's my silicon gel transparent TSA approved "travel shoes"? Maybe they could even make some with little goldfish suspended in the gel...]]>Nov 6th 2008 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/

There are certainly cheaper bags out there. But from my pre-purchase research this bag is as low as *half* the price of the only other bags that are truly comparable in capacity, quality, features, etc...

I pre-ordered before the bags shipped and willingly waited over a month to get the Checkthrough bag, and it was worth it. I just love it and actually have a slight grin on my face when I travel now. Traveling still sucks, but this bag makes it suck less, and that's something.]]>Nov 7th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/]]>Nov 9th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/time-saving-belkin-flythru-laptop-case-now-availalbe/Nov 10th 2008 8:37AM
