Handbag and luggage company LeSportsac claims to have developed a new line of laptop bags that can pass through airport scanners without having to remove the laptop.
Hmm.
It’s a great idea — about 120 laptops are left behind every month at Heathrow airport, the world’s busiest — and LeSportsac says it has anecdotal evidence that travelers are being allowed to leave their laptops sheathed in these new containers when traipsing through security.
I’m skeptical — I have visions of rubber gloves being snapped on when I try to insist to a burly screener that it’s okay for me to leave my laptop in one of these satchels — but the idea makes sense, and I’m surprised there isn’t already some kind of laptop bag on the market that’s been endorsed by the Transportation Security Administration.
So if you’re tired of trying to juggle your laptop, your laptop bag, your shoes, your carry-on and your newspaper/Tom Clancy novel/bag of overpriced trail mix while you shuffle through the line to the scanner, you might want to give these a shot.
