Description: Looking for a way to get through airport security without having to haul your notebook out of its laptop case? Targus has the solution. The Zip-Thru Corporate Traveler is a laptop case with two, self-contained zippered compartments. There’s a third zipper in between the two compartments that lets you unzip the case and lay it down flat, with your laptop in one compartment and your accessories in the other. The design of the bag this way isolates the laptop on one side, allowing security officials to x-ray the notebook more easily. The notebook case is approved for use by the Transportation Security Agency.

I used the case at Boston’s Logan Airport (BOS) and at the Orlando International Airport (MCO), and it worked in both places. Airport personnel seemed to be aware of this type of case, and allowed me to scoot through security without having to take the laptop out of the bag. The case itself is sturdy and lightweight, with a nice, non-slip shoulder strap and extra padding so your laptop won’t get damaged if you drop the bag. If you’re a frequent flier, this is the laptop bag for you.
