TSA Laptop Checkpoint-Friendly Starts Yesterday!
With all the buzz about laptop bags that will pass the checkpoint faster by strageically positioning scanning portion of the laptop bag, TSA (Tranportation Security Administration) has started enforcing the new policy.
Of course, not that many of us have checkpoint-friendly laptop bags in our hands yet. (but will keep you updated)
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.
