TSA Evaluating Laptop Bags

kbielefe writes "The Transportation Security Administration has sent out a call to laptop bag manufacturers to produce a laptop bag that could pass through airport screening without having to remove the laptop. The TSA will perform testing starting at the end of May, with the end result hopefully being a TSA stamp of approval that will reduce the hassle for a lot of us. According to the article, 'The key is for TSA screeners to be able to view the laptop in a single X-ray image, so the laptop would not need to be placed in a separate TSA bin.'"

And here I was trying to build a new laptop case-mod by integrating the laptop into the bag itself. This idea is so much easier though!

    I had TSA approved locks. They survived about 3 trips. On the last trip, when I got my bags, I found the cut locks in the bottom of the bags, with the TSA advisory that the bag had been searched.

    So much for doing the "right" thing. I just gave up locking them. The only people I worry about stealing from my bags are the people who can open those locks anyways.
