Skooba Design, a fine maker of laptop bags, has just announced the pre-order availability of the new Checkthrough bag. This exquisite bag is TSA friendly and should get you through checkpoints without the need of removing your computer. This bag fits all 15.4 inch laptops and is claimed to even fit slim 17 inchers. Weighing only 48 ounces and having nearly 20 pockets, this is sure to allow organization of everything you need to bring. Dimensions are: 17″L x 13″H x 7.5″D.

The bag opens and hinges in the middle to separate and isolate the laptop compartment from the rest of the bag. For initial, immediate visual reference, the laptop can be seen by the inspector through a clear, quick-recognition window that is exposed when the bag is unfolded. With the window facing up, the bag is sent through x-ray screening. The design of the laptop compartment is such that the image presented to the screener is the same as if the laptop were removed and placed in a bin. The Checkthrough bag and all of its contents can be carried securely with or without the hinge zipped shut, so it can be readied in line, prior to screening. Once through, the traveler can simply pick up the bag and go, zipping it back up on the move or at the gate.
