The laptops aren't the problem at security, the people who act like they have no clue as to what to do when they get into the line and must pass through detector two or three times before they clear it are. I.E. huge carry on luggage, Didn't remove shoes, metal belt buckles, keys still in pockets, change in pockets, huge jewelry. These are the things that I constsntly see slowing down the lines. <br>Along with the TSA employees who often seem as confused as the customers and work as though it's their first day on the job.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[L.

The titanium implant sounds off alarms as I cross through the magical system.....but, I am still sent to the side for a complete pat down and bag search which takes 20 extra minutes of my time. I even tell the security to look at my scar as proof! They don't laugh.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bren]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[MEDICAL CARDS ARE VERY EASY TO DUPLICATE.

Snider, it is what I call the INFREQUENT traveler.  You would think after 6 1/2 years even these folks would have figured it out.  Don't even get me started on the attitude of some of the TSA screener.  And they folks that bring half their worldly possesions as carry-ons.  A little common sense on by the TSA folks and the passengers woud make a huge difference.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 8:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[TSA is one of the biggest government protection scams/jokes ever established. I have worked at 2 major airports on airport improvement projects and can tell you that the TSA people are the bottom of the barrell; virtual scum. I have seen them hauled off the sites in cuffs by sheriffs. When TSA instituted the "liquid" rule, I watch them go throught the disposal bags retrieving multiple items of expensive perfume, colognes, creams, etc. They are more of a danger to us than a terrorist. And, they are arbitrary in the rule enforcement. Why do I have to take off my shoes (and I always wear flip flops for ease of on and off) at one airport and not at another. Power given to people with iqs smaller than their shoe size is a dangerous thing. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cybergidget]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 5:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[Figures.  Whatever helps THEM, costs US money.  If an Xray machine can see through canvas bags and see my iPod deep inside, why can't it see my laptop?  It's just another way to make us spend more money for something else we don't need.  What a load of garbage this so called "Security" for airplanes is.  And the pathetic part of it all is:  If the "Bad Guys" want to get to us, they WILL.  Even though you spend umpteen bucks for this new laptop case!  I've recently read an article where a woman forgot to remove her cat from a canvas carry on bag, and the Security people laughed, saying they saw the cat's skeleton and internal organs!  So why can't they see a laptop?? Sad.  <a href="http://www/CelluliteQueen.com" rel="nofollow">http://www/CelluliteQueen.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CelluliteQueen.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 9:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[fatqueen.....its to see if there are any explosives in the computer! with all the junk people put into there bags it's hard to make sure it's ok to clear it! how retarded can people get? if you don't like it, there are other means of transportation! instead of belly-aching about why you need to do this (and other things at checkpoint) read up on the ways the terrorist are trying to bring our planes down. maybe the light will come back on for you! have and awsome day............your friendly TSA screener :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisandra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 7:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[i work for TSA and people should just shut the f*ck up and follow the rules....u people kill me when u complain....you know why we do it...stop asking all the time...we dont have a personal vendetta against you, we do it for your safety. We also have alot of intelligence that the public doesnt know about it. so we have to enforce ceratin rules. and laptop is really is hard to look through in an x-ray machine. there is just too much to look at in a laptop....batteries, wires etc. and when you leave it in a bag it doesnt look good.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 1:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well let me say that that is true about inexperienced flyers but if you think this country is hard then maybe you need to fly international and try some other countries. This country is not hard at all when some make you take belts off shoes watchs rings necklaces and anything metal before you go through. and god for bid you cant see without glasses.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kenny aeekins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 9:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah, in other countries, you have to strip down. and in some, its full cavity search baby!! so to all the whiners, shut up and be happy it isn't here!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisandra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 11:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[And these bags will be produced in What country?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cathy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[And in What country will these bags be produced?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cathy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 9:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not the US, that is for sure.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pindragon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Bags Let You Keep Your Laptop Inside at Airport Security Lines]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/01/airport-friendly-laptop-cases-just-around-the-bend/</guid><description><![CDATA[I travel alot and I am stuck  up with idiots at the airports or the idiots on the highways.

What sense is that? You are still removing your laptop from your briefcase how does this possibly slow down the line? The TSA management isn't the smartest hammer in the toolbox! If the TSA weren't too busy comparing their nails or hairdo's and chattering amongst themselves instead of doing their damn jobs the lines would speed up.

It was divided, 4-lane highways 95% of the time.  We stopped when we felt like it, ate when we felt like it, and we were not trapped in a plane for hours with a tiny bag of stale pretzels.  I have another trip next year, and I will NOT be flying.  The airlines can take their extra charges and they know what they can do with them.  I would not be surprised if one of these days they start charging to use the teeny tiny bathrooms on their jets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cearralyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 10:09AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
