    Anyone have a TSA approved laptop case or sleeve? Or anyone travel a lot and have any good suggestions?

    Shoreline has some decent sleeves, but I don't think they make one that you can take through security for a 13.3" screen. Zeroshock III looks good but I am sure I would have to take the laptop out at security and that is what I am trying to avoid...

    I saw one on Maximumpc.com, but as they rightly pointed out, until they become the norm, you may still need to take your notebook out when you pass through the check point.

    I actually work at a luggage store and we sell TSA sleeves all the time. The company that we sell the most from is Briggs & Riley. They make an excellent product, and its TSA compliant. If you find that you would like it, PM me and I will be able to get you a 40%off discount

    I don't know if my Caselogic neoprene sleeve is TSA compliant or not, but I left my laptop in it and sent it through the x-ray and no one said anything. It's just neoprene so shouldn't mess with the x-raying any.

    TSA are non-english speaking tempermental idiots who, 95% of the time are clueless and more busy chatting amongst themselves.

    even if it is TSA compliant... it is not idiot-proof...

    i travel a ton... i dont bother with sleeves any more...

    Is there a website or a store I can go into to see what they have? I have seen some of the shoreline sleeves but do you know if they make one that will fit a 13.3" U330 and still be able to stay in the sleeve for TSA purposes? I know they can give you a hard time regardless, but generally I don't seem to deal with the problem children...

    I travel a GREAT deal and find when I use my Aussiebag sleeve, I can leave my Toshiba 13.3 in it and it goes right through without a word.
