Makes air traveling much less painful!,
I had no problem with using this bag through airport security and it fits fine under the seat. It’s a very roomy bag and I was able to fit three changes of clothes plus heels. Here’s another trick for using this bag: place your liquids in a bag between the two compartments so when you unzip the bag to go through the x-ray machine, you can toss your liquids into a bin. No need to fish it out of the main compartment.

|No more broken laptops,
After dropping my laptop in Dulles Airport after getting through security, I knew there had to be a better way. This was much cheaper than the replacement CD-Rom drive that got broken.
The side pockets are simple to throw in drinks for those long, dry-air flights. The laptop section held a 15.4 Dell M4400 (the widest brick-heavy laptop out there) with ease. I like the section in the back padding that allows you to slip it right over the handles of your carry-on with having to worry about it falling off. The middle section gives you plenty of space for magazines, notepads and a some snacks. The pouch section holds my USB drive, iphone and blackberry cables, as well as perfecly holds my noise canceling head phones. The zip-thru pouch that opens up is fantastic for putting a jacket in. So when you unzip to get through security, you throw the jacket in the bins, when it comes out “cooked” on the other side of the X-Ray you through it right back in once you zip it back up.
The greatest part is that it all fits comfortably under the seat in front of you.
The only thing I miss is that my ancient targus had a shoulder pouch to keep a pack of cigarettescell phone in.
I can make it through security, without juggling 3 bins like I use to. Now it is this backpack first, bin full of my shoes, belt and ziplock bag, all being pushed along with my carry-on. I can get through the security X-Ray and running out the other side in less than 30 seconds. Assuming I dont have that guy that has to make 4 trips through the detector cause he forget to remove his keys first, then his belt, then his watch.

|Lightweight bag,
Pros: Bag itself is light in weight; convenient design to breeze through airport security.
Cons: lightweight construction – not likely to hold up with rugged and frequent usage; the only hold handle on the top of the bag is the padded web connecting the 2 shoulder straps – a separate handle would be stronger; the inside pockets could be designed to be more usable; a separate magazine/newspaper pocket would have been nice.
