Adventures in TSA Logic: Explaining the New Laptop Bag Rules
Any government agency could potentially take a seven-word laptop-screening policy ("Take your computer out of its bag") and turn it into a 510-word briefing including two diagrams, a bulleted list, a note and a disclaimer. But only the TSA would have audacity to dub that kind of effort "simplifying laptop bag procedures."
Yep, there are apparently four different styles of new laptop bags that are OK by the TSA, but don't try to sneak an "accordion style" pouch past these logicians! Actually, don't try to sneak anything by them because:
If [an officer] finds that the bag does not present a clear and distinct image of the laptop separate from the rest of the bag, the laptop will have to be screened separately.
Still wondering why we called this plan stupid?
