The Talking Luggage Locator Needs Better Range
Unlike most luggage locators, this version plays a 30 second user-recorded message in addition to lighting up like a Christmas tree whenever the remote is pressed. Of course, it would be better if the range extended beyond 45-feet. More » -

TSA Uses Decoy Luggage To Bust Airline Laptop Thieves

Clear Fast Track Airport Security Is No More
Allowing people to quickly hop through airport security with a TSA-verified biometric "fast passes," Clear had great idea on their hands. Sadly, as of yesterday, their freeflowing security lanes will be closed. More » -

iPhone Saves Man From Power-Hungry TSA Goon Squad
We're just hearing about it now, but back in March a quick-thinking air traveler took advantage of a dim-witted TSA official who had let that fancy little patch they wear go to his head. Weapon of choice? An iPhone. More » -

Seattle-Tacoma Airport Using Radar and Pyrotechnics to Keep Birds off the Runway

Belkin FlyThru Laptop Bags Save Notebooks From TSA Butterfingers
The concept of "checkpoint friendly" laptop bags have been around for a couple months—with Solo and Mobile Edge leading the charge—but Belkin's now getting in the action with their own FluThru Laptop Case. Their version will run you $59, complete with "minimal metal zippers", 15.4-inch laptop capacity and notebook isolation for easier screening. Not having to take out your machine so screeners can drop them onto the concrete is definitely worth $59, unless you want an excuse to buy a new laptop. [Belkin] -

New WTC Transport Hub: One Part Memorial, One Part Stegosaurus From Space
The Port Authority has released renderings of the plan for the World Trade Center Transport hub, and they look fantastic.

FAA Computers Aren't Computing, Cause Delays At Airports Everywhere
We don't know how many airports total are being affected, but FAA computers at one of their facilities are having trouble processing data, which means flights everywhere are being delayed. So far CNN says LaGuardia in NY and Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta were having problems (among many others), but radar and plane contact is fine everywhere. If you're flying today or tomorrow (like I am), you should get to the airport early. Or late, I guess, if flights are delayed. Maybe just show up at your normal time. [CNN] More »
