Ugh, they sound like a ripoff that I don't have a choice about, since I hate taking my laptop out at checkpoints (already busy enough taking off flat sandals and necklace..). Then again, shouldn't a lot of laptop sleeves work by default, if the clutter is the main issue? And depending on how I pack, and if I don't buy a new bag, I'd have to use a sleeve, which would either count as my personal item (then what happens to my purse? :( ) or would go in the carryon, which is my main problem anyway since I hate taking it out in the first place. Also I wonder if this would apply to any electronics one would be dragging through security, not just laptops. I'd like to keep my wii in my bag because it's one less thing to pull out and repack. Ughhh headache :( This just hassles the people who fly a lot, nobody else.
