How about making your business travel a little easier? I don’t know about you, but it sounds good to me. The Director of TSA, Kip Hawley, has confirmed that “x-ray friendly” briefs are going to be accepted by TSA. Two manufacturers, Pathfinder and Targus, already have bags close to ready and should be out for sale around August 2008. These business cases range in styles from a backpack, non-wheeled briefs and a wheeled brief all at price points from $39-$200. Quite a few other manufacturers are in the works of making their own versions.
Some might think it’s not worth paying for another briefcase, but I beg to differ. If you’re in need of a new business case anyway and you travel a lot for business, why not just buy an x-ray friendly one! In my opinion, I think anything that makes traveling easier today is beneficial to you. All I know is that it’s bad enough that you need to separate all electronics, liquids, take off belts, metals, jackets, etc and much more, when your going through airport security, then have to put it all back on and together again. So, I wouldn’t mind purchasing an x-ray friendly bag. Especially since the prices are going to be really reasonable too! Even though these briefcases are not TSA “approved”, they are still considered TSA “friendly” and hopefully time will show that these bags will make business travel a bit easier.
