Belkin Flythru may help with airport security
Belkin’s Flythru see-through laptop bag may — just may — persuade security checkers not to ask you to pull your laptop out of the bag
Airport security makes you remove your laptop for screening so it does not get confused with an explosive device. Belkin’s Flythru laptop bag theoretically removes that annoyance by placing your laptop in a see-through compartment so that the harried airport staff can see you are packing Mac rather than mace.
As Nick at Gizmodo suggests in his writeup, you would not want to assume that airport security are going to care much about your neat new travel bag, and you may well find yourself being asked to pull out your PC anyway. Angus Kidman writes that for an efficiency-obsessed packer like himself, keeping a laptop in its own compartment is not necessarily the best use of space. It also seems like slight overkill if you have got a notebook (Kidman says he has known several people who have reported that the original Eee never gets noticed by airport security if you leave it in your bag, though he has never wanted to test the theory myself).
On the other hand, if it does work, you will save yourself the hassle of pulling out your notebook every time you pass through an airport — a process which is really a bother at Sydney’s T3, for example, where the tables are conveniently positioned nowhere near the actual gates.
