Why? If there is room in the laptop compartment to store other items, such as a power cord, a passenger may choose to do so. Designs must guide passenger behavior or passengers must be notified by the manufacturer on how to use the bag in the way it was intended."
So you are still at the whim of the TSA with a GED as to whether your bag will be allowed. I'll still just take it out, until this nonsense ends. -- "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have" Thomas Jefferson |

 | reply to heliox Aren't you giving the TSA people too much credit with a GED? Most I have seen couldn't pass 8th grade. |

 | like any job there are morons. but the system takes people that want to do a good job and beats them down until they are drooling idiots. but the main problem with the tsa is the administration and political influences. the way to resolve is write your representative and not take out on someone trying to sift through and do there job.. -- »www.thereligionofpeace.com/ |

 morboComplete Your Transaction join:2002-01-22 00000 | reply to i1me2ao the point is how can you expect top notch security from low tier (hourly rate, education) workers? there's no such thing as a free lunch. and cheap lunches aren't always good enough to prevent terrorist attacks... |

 james join:2001-02-26 CWCville USA | Not to mention the fact that the idiots they deal with on an hourly basis slowly drive them insane. It's like cops in big cities, they start out wanting to make a difference, then they just want to get through the day, then they want revenge.
I'm actually surprised none of them have gone postal. |
