So I see on CNN that there is a new computer storage bag(s) that will expedite the process of getting through security with a type of bag that opens up in the middle or in a tri-fold manner exposing the laptop on one side and the wires on the other therefore making for a cleaner look at the laptop (so I am told or read). So I go directly to the TSA website to dig deeper for more specifics. Many of you are big travelers for work or personal so I thought this might prove useful for you.

CAN BE POTENTIALLY A LONGER WAIT IN LINE for personal screening:

From the TSA Website:
"What does this mean for passengers?
If you intend to use a checkpoint friendly laptop bag once they are on the market, make sure to check that:
* Your laptop bag has a designated laptop-only section that can lay flat on the X-ray belt
* There are no metal snaps, zippers or buckles inside, underneath or on-top of the laptop-only section
* There are no pockets on the inside or outside of the laptop-only section
* There is nothing in the laptop compartment other than the laptop
* You have completely unfolded your bag so that there is nothing above or below the laptop-only section, allowing the bag to lay flat on the X-ray belt
Disclaimer:
Given TSA’s use of random screening protocols, TSA reserves the right to re-screen any bag or laptop regardless of the design of the bag."

I conducted a search on "TSA Friendly Bags" and found some good results. Bon chance travelers!
