Perhaps the best news of the month (sure it is the first day of July — but hey, this is still great news) has to be that there are new security friendly laptop bags coming on the market soon which will allow travelers to pass through airport security without the need to remove the laptop from their bag.
The new bags have a compartment which allows a laptop and minimal clutter. The companies making them are Targus and Pathfinder Luggage.
