Talk about a few bad apples ruining it for the rest of us: Airport security lines take forever, because while 99.999999% of us are harmless, we're all blanketed with security policies seeking to stop that .00001% with trouble on their minds. It's mathematically problematic, but until someone comes up with a better idea, it's our reality.

In the meantime, laptop accessory manufacturer Mobile Edge is taking small steps to make things a little easier with their ScanFast line:

The TSA recently announced plans to implement new security procedures that will allow travelers to pass through security checkpoints without having to remove their laptops from their cases. Simultaneously, the TSA issued a request to laptop bag manufacturers to create "Checkpoint Friendly" laptop bags to help speed up security lines, allowing passengers to get to their departure gates in a timely manner. These new cases will help shorten wait times for more than 250 million passengers that travel annually in the U.S.

The design team at Mobile Edge quickly responded to the TSA request and came up with three new innovative case designs. This new ScanFast Collection consists of a backpack, a briefcase and a messenger bag, all designed to conveniently open for airport screeners and help speed travelers through the X-Ray screening process.
