Well, see, the trays used to be different sizes so you couldn't stack them, so without this patent the TSA wouldn't have thought to do that /s > A disadvantage

> A disadvantage to the present system used in security areas is that the trays for holding laptop computers are not part of a uniform system and do not protect the items from possible damage. Therefore, it is possible that multiple size trays that do not in any way correspond with one another may be used at a security area thus making storage of the trays when they are not in use cumbersome.

I mean it's such a common thing that there are EU standardized sizes for stack-able boxes (and as far as I can tell they existed since pre-EU, or at least I can't remember my dad not using them in his little shops storage room). The sizes are so common that even car manufacturers consider them when designing (some kinds of) cars.
