Having a quick-release strap on your messenger bag could be good if you're a frequent brawler; and for the less violently-inclined, it's just plain ol' neat. Flickr user L. Marie, through comprehensive photo instructions, shows you how to mod yours here.

Even easier to nick this type of bag off someone in the street. I sometimes vulnerable with my chrome bag on with its buckle but id never have this type design on it
Why hack a crappy shoulderbag when you can get an original Waterfield? Made by an ex-bike currier named Gary out of San Francisco ( ) the original "Cargo" is rugged and well designed... I've dragged mine to umpteen dozen tradeshows, and around the world at least 3 times for work. The aircraft seat belt on the flap makes it easy to lock and unlatch with one hand behind your back (quite literally). The indium wears extremely well, the ballistic nylon still hasn't ripped, in fact it's outlived 4 laptops and still looks good.

These guys have been using safety belts for years. Combined with used truck covers their bags are indestructible.
