Customer Reviews

Convenient at security, but inefficient space use
This is one of the very few TSA approved Laptop bags that allow you pass airport security quickly. You just open a zipper and the bag flaps open with one part holding the Laptop only and the other part holding whatever you put in the other compartments. It's easy to handle and saves indeed some hassle at the airport.
The downside of this bag is its inefficinet space use. It's a very large backpack (16 x 2 x 11.5 inches) and reserves unnecessarily ample space (about 16 x 1.5 x 11.5 inches) for the Laptop compartment. You are not allowed, however, to put anything else in this compartment, so a lot of space is lost. That's a pity because MobileEdge could have designed the Laptop compartment much slimmer which would have left more space for books, paper etc. in the other compartments.
I also miss a strap at each side that support the zipper when your backpack is really stuffed.

Two out of Three (Not Bad)
This laptop backpack is great! It took me a while to figure out what to put in all the pockets! The hidden bottle pocket is excellent, even though I didn't use it on my first trip. I went through three airports with my new backpack in December 2008. "ScanFast" and "Checkpoint Friendly" are very accurate terms (most of the time)! I only had one TSA officer, at the Quad City International Airport (Moline, Illinois), ask me to take my laptop out of the backpack. I didn't argue with him, but I did tell him that he was the only one to request this out of several officers at three different airports who had seen the backpack. I pointed out the "Checkpoint Friendly" compartment, and told him about the instructions that came with it, telling me not to put anything other than the laptop in that part of the backpack. He said more than once that TSA doesn't advertise the backpack, and that I would've been better off with one of those laptop "sleeves." I just think he didn't get the memo!

TSA Laptop Bag
I recently bought and travelled with this backpack and laptop through airport security. All the TSA agents loved it. In fact they thought it was so great, they stopped me and wrote down the brand and wanted to know where I got it. Of course after going through the checkpoint without having to take my laptop out of the bag, they made me open it up to show them how my laptop fit it, the other compartments etc. There is a lot of space for all computer accessories, paperwork, and other carry-on items. It's prerry comfortable to carry on your shoulders even when its heavy and crammed with stuff and it's nice to have you hands free to carry other items. Would definitely recommend for travelling.
