No laptop backpacks?

Posted: August 17th, 2008 | Author: Moey | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: | 6 Comments »

I was checking my feed reader this morning and was shocked to see this on Marzouq’s blog.
Starting August 16th, TSA will allow laptops to remain in bags meeting new ‘checkpoint friendly’ guidelines. Not all laptop bags are ‘checkpoint friendly’. Not backpack or accordion style, they’re not allowed anymore. I think Jansport and some other makers won’t be any happy about that.

    This is actually GOOD news since before you had to take your laptop out of the bag. Now they’ve eased restrictions so with my eastpack backpack which opens butterfly style i can keep my laptop inside.
