Checkpoint Friendly Bags

Checkpoint friendly bags are designed to produce a clear and unobstructed image of your laptop when it goes through the Airport X-ray screening.  It is not necessary to take your laptop out of the bag.  

Going through an airport security checkpoint is always a challenge. it doesn’t matter if you are traveling for business or pleasure the process can be difficult. With the design of checkpoint friendly bags this process can now be a little easier.

Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bag

The average business traveler has a carry on roller bag and a laptop bag.  Now quick grab some empty bins, place your roller bag on the table, take your computer out of the case and put in its own bin, take your shoes off, your belt off, jacket off and what ever else you might have in your pockets.  Everything should be in a bin and now goes through the scanner.  On the other side you get to do everything again in reverse.  Put everything back in its bag, on your body and away you go.

The pleasure traveler is much slower at this process.  They are not sure how many bins to use, they did not  realize they had to take their laptop out of their bag and put it into its own bin.  this slows the process but eventually everyone gets through the checkpoint with or without a pat down.

We need to do everything we can to make the security checkpoint process faster and smoother.  One way to do that is to purchase a checkpoint friendly bag for your computer.  This allows you to leave your laptop in the bag.  Yeah,  finally we don’t have to unpack our laptops.

If you intend to use a checkpoint friendly bag make sure you look at these guidelines:

• The bag offers a clear unobstructed view of the laptop
• the laptop bag has a laptop only section that lays flat on the belt
• There are no pockets on the laptop only section
• The only thing in the laptop compartment is just the laptop
• The bag has been unfolded so there is nothing above or below the laptop section of the bag
