Aerovation(R) Products’ latest innovation eliminates requirement of
removing laptops from bags when going through airport security checkpoints

TIPP CITY, Ohio, July 25 /PRNewswire/ — Considering today’s stricter
safety measures and that more than a quarter of travelers carry a laptop,
the security process of removing laptops from laptop bags has become a
time-consuming, albeit necessary, requirement. Thanks to the Checkpoint
Friendly(TM) Laptop Bag, a patent-pending product that was recently tested
by the Transit Security Administration (TSA), travel can now be easier —
and faster — for all.

Developed in response to TSA’s industry-wide call for easy-to-screen
laptop bags, the Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bag is the latest solution by
Aerovation(R) Products (http://www.aerovation.com), a company dedicated to
creating smart accessories for the travel and aviation industries.
Officially debuting to consumers worldwide, the Checkpoint Friendly(TM)
Laptop Bag is designed to allow travelers to keep their laptops safely in
their bags.

“Aerovation(R) Products has been working since early March to design,
test and develop this exciting new item,” says Ben Bosma, Aerovation(R)
Products’ general manager. “We chose to wait for the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) to release its findings on the testing
program it ran during May and June of this year. Happily, our bag, which
was included in these trials, worked as advertised.”

The Checkpoint Friendly(TM) Laptop Bag functions by holding the laptop
in a compartment separate from accessories and other items. It easily peels
open for placement on the X-ray screening belt. Once that’s done, the bag
quickly folds shut. Differing from other designs, the Checkpoint
Friendly(TM) Laptop Bag uses a patent-pending, top-hinge method of opening
and closing. This returns the bag to its carrying configuration simply by
picking it up from the belt. There are no snaps, buckles or zippers to
reconnect the compartments. The compartments cling to each other
automatically.

“Another key difference is we’ve put 100 percent of our effort into the
bag’s X-ray permeability,” Bosma says. “The materials, padding, zippers,
and each component’s location have been determined to ensure the X-ray has
a clear and unobstructed path from emitter to sensor. We built this bag to
provide the best chance of not having the screening experience interrupted
by a bag check.”

Currently available in black, the Checkpoint Friendly(TM) Laptop Bag is
offered in two sizes: 15.4 inches and 17 inches. Leather and faux-leather
styles will be coming soon.
