1004 The Transportation Safety Agency has implemented a new rule allowing Checkpoint Friendly laptop bags to be utilized in security scanners. TSA stated that it will not endorse or approve any one bag design or manufacturer. This requires TSA Officers to individually identify checkpoint friendly criteria for every laptop bag. Two results: upset travelers who are asked to remove their laptop from what was thought to be a checkpoint friendly bag, or decreased security as bags and laptops are not required to be exposed.

As many manufacturers are getting in line to produce the next Checkpoint Friendly laptop bag, there is one product that has taken a different route. As most of these "checkpoint friendly" bags are $100 or more, issues may arise with travelers who are being asked to remove their laptops from their new bag which was purchased to resolve such situations.

For $24.95 USD, the new LapStrap not only allows continued use of your existing laptop bag, but through company testing has not resulted in a single request by TSA Officers to be removed from the laptop. The innovative LapStrap is a simple accessory that creates a shoulder strap for your laptop computer.

The LapStrap makes carrying your laptop easier than ever before.  Simply place the LapStrap over your laptop, close the lid and you instantly have a shoulder strap. By attaching LapStrap to your laptop you can continue the use of your existing travel bag and navigate the security checkpoint with ease. LapStrap allows the computer to be secured over your shoulder which frees both hands to gather additional items such as keys, cell phone, and boarding pass. Even with the disclosed "Checkpoint Friendly" criteria, the Transportation Security Administration states that Officers reserve the right to have any laptop removed from its bag, even if the bag is considered "checkpoint friendly" by the manufacturer.

Another issue arises with laptop travelers if requested to check bags planeside. Many have faced this scenario and find themselves scrambling to remove their laptop as they board the plane. By having LapStrap attached to the laptop, the laptop now becomes easily secured for transporting.

LapStrap is available in both adult and youth sizes.  Constructed with durable nylon, LapStrap also includes a neoprene shoulder pad for comfort.  Heavy-duty buckles allow LapStrap to be adjusted to secure all laptop sizes.   

LapStrap can be custom colored and branded for your company, school, or organization.  LapStrap is a great promotional item as your logo can be "front and forward" on the shoulder of everyone who carries a LapStrap.

Whether faced with a security line, a coffee shop, a quick meeting, or a class LapStrap offers the flexibility to decide to carry your full bag or simply your laptop. LapStrap can be purchased online for $24.95 USD.
