In a move to be embraced by many, the Transportation Security Administration is allowing “checkpoint friendly” laptop bags through screening without the need to remove the laptop. Acceptable bags include butterfly, trifold and sleeve designs. Nix the accordions and backpacks. If these (hopefully) accelerated measures have the absent-minded leaving their bags behind, don’t discount the lost-and-found department at TSA. Like the airport police, TSA maintains its own department at airports to catalog and safekeep lost items, usually for 30 days. Thereafter, it’s likely to get donated. Harried travelers, take note.
