This is why I use one of those "TSA friendly" bags for my laptop: it never leaves the bag, I just unzip it and lay the bag flat.
I'd be furious if this was me tho.
- dijit 8y agoFWIW; you're not allowed to do this in Europe (at least in the airports I've been in). I spent extra money on a TSA friendly backpack too, so I'm bummed. :( All items must be in a tray, electronics have to be in a separate tray and not stacked.
- sitepodmatt 8y agoYep same in most airports in SE Asia too. TSA made everyone's job harder, sorry I mean travel safer, by banning more than 100ml of liquid, so nowadays probably reluctant to adopt more TSA rules even if they are now somewhat logical.
- gowld 8y agoSE Asia airport security procedure is determined by TSA, even though they don't follow TSA procedures?
- sitepodmatt 8y agoI don't know the exact details, but everyone adopted the silly 100ml liquid max per bottle nonsense post 9/11?, but the rest of stuff such TSA approved laptop bags are not in practice or at least not known by the contracted staff operating the machines and scans I've experienced in SE Asia.
- wafflebear 8y agoI believe the regulations on liquids are set by ICAO which is part of the UN. Sometimes the US sets extra security requirements for flights to/from/in the US.
