Watch your bags if you’re travelling!


TSA laptop bags
You wouldn’t think it, but some bags are a hindrance to the TSA. In the past we’ve highlighted some of the more, might I say it, unusual actions the TSA have taken with mobile tech carry ons. The responses to the ever tightening security procedures have even produced gear to alleviate the recognition problems some TSA officials have with the x-ray unit.

What I can’t see here, is the difference between a butterfly style, tri – fold style bag, and the accordion and backpack style bags. They all layer up your gear don’t they? Yet at least one of them is more convenient to carry. Anyway, you’ve been warned!

Personnaly, I think backpacks should be banned from all aircraft. Most of the people that use backpacks are mindless idiots. They always seem to forget that they have a large, hard hump sticking off their back. When they turn in the aisle to put their other bag in the overhead storage, they end up wacking the person in the opposite seat in the face with their bag. I’ve been there and it doesn’t tickle. Then, when you try to prevent your face getting wacked, they get annoyed and pissed at you. Backpackers on planes… get a clue and be more considerate, please.
