Very helpful review. As you know, I travel several months out of the year, so I would love to try this. In fact, a few days ago, I was urged to take “all electronic devices from their bags” including… my laptop, my ipod, my camera, my cell phones, my internet tablet, etc. That was a first, and hopefully a last, as it was incredibly time-consuming and quite a hassle.

Just curious if you had any security people still insist you take your computer out of the bag? Would be interesting to see how soon this product would be recognizable as a “get out of computer-security” pass.

Seriously, though, the Checkpoint-Friendly process really does work, and (at least with the bag I got) works well and efficiently. I didn’t get the bag reviewed here–I have the Checkthrough bag made by Skooba design–and I am very happy with it. It is saving me time and at least a little grief. And traveling as much as I do, a little grief is a big thing.
