Oh the joys and pains of flying with a laptop. On one hand it’s great to have a computer handy while you’re flying about but on the other hand, we all know how incredibly annoying it can be at security checkpoints when we’re asked to remove the laptop and place it on that conveyor belt. That’s where Skooba Design comes in with their lineup of Checkthrough “checkpoint-friendly” laptop bags. Developed in coordination with the TSA, these bags are designed to pass through airport x-ray screening without requiring the user to remove the computer on the inside. Skooba last week expanded their lineup to include a new ultralight backpack as well as a rolling laptop/business case.

Features of the Checkthrough Backpack include the following:

press6-low

press5-low

press7-low

  • Bag opens and hinges in the middle to separate and isolate the laptop compartment from the rest of the bag
  • There’s also a clear quick-recognition window that is exposed when the bag is unfolded
  • Bag and all its content can be carried securely with or without the hinge zipped shut
  • Fits laptops up to 17 inches
  • Divided folder/file section
  • Exterior pockets for metal detector items
  • Over 20 pockets, compartments, and organizers
  • Durable zippered clear pouch for allowable liquid bottles
