Have You Ever Successfully Used a TSA-Approved Laptop Bag?
The TSA's complicated new laptop bag rules didn't exactly have us running out to buy a shiny new carrying case, but of course we're always looking for anything with the potential to save us a minute or two on security lines.
So we're wondering if any of your have made the splurge. Anyone try the Targus Zip-Thru Corporate Traveler Laptop Case? We're down with the sleek TSA-approved design, but not ready to shell out the $100 price tag. Is it worth it? And more importantly, did it work? Because we'd hate to spend that much money and still have to remove our laptop from the bag.
What about the half-price TurboBag or any of the other imitators? Are they worth the investment? Did the scanners make you take your laptop out anyway?

Seemingly Impossible Travel: TSA Blog Reaches New Level of Absurdity
Tomorrow, the latest TSA shitshow starts, with passengers trying--undoubtedly with varying degrees of success--to run their laptops through x-ray machines while still inside carry-on bags. So how did the agency remind travelers about the new policy today?
James Brown once sang that Papa's Got a Brand New Bag. Well, it may be a different kind of bag than what the Godfather was singing about, but now everybody can feel better than James Brown and keep their laptop in their "checkpoint friendly" bag as long it meets certain criteria.
There you have it: Just buy a magical bag and you'll feel better than a guy who died from congestive heart failure brought on by pneumonia!
