Gift Guide: Tom Bihn Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Bag

by Jon Chase on November 15, 2008 at 12:01 AM


Tom Bihn Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Bag (Traveler, under $250)

As if removing your coat, belt, shoes, and dignity weren't enough for the snoopy TSA guys protecting our nation's airports, you still gotta break out the laptop and put it in its own tub for a scan. Except now it turns out you don't? if you have the right gear. Tom Bihn, maker of fine luggables, worked with the TSA to develop a bag that would allow screeners to X-ray it with an unobstructed view of a laptop. Each bag comes with a distinct padded liner that can be used with other Bihn bags, so should your traveler want a new bag, he or she can still use the liner. And of paramount importance: There are 10 pockets besides the main one to fit various other portables.

Price: $220
