Then consider a laptop bag or sleeve that may not require you to remove your computer. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will allow you to keep your laptop in such bags during the screening process if security can capture a clear and unobstructed image of the laptop. Skooba Design sells the Netbook Neo-Sleeve, an affordable laptop sleeve for $19.95 that you can carry on your own with a removable shoulder strap and can unfold to lie flat on the airport X-ray machine belt. Available in four fashion colors.
