The Transportation Security Administration and luggage manufacturers (Pathfinder Luggage and Targus) are working together to make ‘checkpoint’ friendly’ laptop cases. The estimated cost of these cases will be from $100-$250 depending on the style. According to the New York Times “The new cases include either a fold-down section in a bigger briefcase or a stand-alone protective sleeve that contains no extra clutter and can be readily viewed through the scanner.” I’m quite used to (but, not fond of) the undressing and redressing through airport security checkpoints. Is there any way the TSA can also team up with shoe companies so that shoes are also ‘checkpoint friendly’? I think it’s quite wretched to make passengers walk through security barefoot amongst the bacterium on airport floors (yuck!!!).
