Question:
What makes a bag airport-friendly?

Answer:
How the bag is designed and constructed is the first part and how it is packed is the second part.

As for the bag, it must be able to fully open and lay flat on the belt for scanning. The bag must be designed so that the laptop compartment is free and clear from anything else that is packed into the bag... when passing through the scanner, only the laptop is on one side of the bag permitting a clear and unobstructed view to the operator of the scanner.

As for packing the bag, only the laptop can be placed on the side of the bag intended for the laptop. Any other item placed on that side of the bag will not allow the bag to pass through the scanner and be approved.

In all instances, screening personnel have the right to require that a laptop be removed from the bag for screening or any other measures they deem necessary to ensure security when traveling.
