Bags deemed "checkpoint friendly" by the TSA are starting to roll out fast and furious now-bags with "creative" names like "ScanFast" and the newly announced "CheckFast" from Solo (I'm still waiting for the "CavitySearchFree"). The CheckFast claims to be "the first laptop case company to have fulfilled the design and testing requirements to be Travel Sentry approved," but when it really comes down to it, all of the bags basically have a cut-out area that makes it easy for security to view its contents. After that, its pretty much about what kind of style you prefer. The CheckFast series consists of a "Tech Collection" with a mesh-covered removable laptop sleeve for 15.4" laptops and a clamshell "Mini Instant Messenger" that holds an 11" netbook (pictured above). There will also be a "Classic Collection" with a "clamshell portfolio for 15.4" laptops that will lay flat across the X-ray belt during screening. Plus, an "AlwaysOn" sleeve will "securely hug the laptop" and provide a vented opening in the back that makes it possible to use the laptop while it is still in the sleeve.
