Cleared for Takeoff
Flee Bags
Specific design elements are necessary for optimum X-ray image viewing, and Smartt referred the CheckMate line from Leed’s to explain how its new bag accomplishes the objective.
“Our bags have a butterfly design that allows you to place your laptop on one side of the bag, and have full organization on the other side. By simply unzipping and unfolding the CheckMate bag before placing it on the belt, a traveler can skate through security quickly,” she observed. “Our bags do not have any pockets or obstructions on the laptop section, which allows for a clean scan when going through security.” This streamlined design feature is mandated by the TSA’s new guidelines. “When the bag clears security, you simply gather the bag by the handles and zip up as you exit to your gate,” Smartt added.
