These new TSA Checkpoint-friendly laptop bags can help you get past the checkpoints much faster without taking your laptop out.
| Starting on Saturday, some of the nation’s airline passengers will not have to remove their laptops at airport checkpoints. |
| “I’m going to feel a sense of freedom,” said Burke, CEO of Garven gift-packaging company, who makes weekly flights between his home in Denver and the company’s headquarters in Minneapolis. |
| Passengers who have what the Transportation Security Administration calls “checkpoint-friendly” laptop cases - so-called because X-ray machines can easily see through them - will be free to go through security without opening the case. The policy change by the TSA could speed up security lines for the 2 million people who take U.S. flights each day and reduce incidents in which laptops are damaged, lost or forgotten in airports. |
