The New York Times reports that new "checkpoint-friendly" laptop bags are designed to let airport security personnel get a clear x-ray view of a laptop bag without the traveler having to remove the laptop. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has authorized the design and use of these new laptop bags, and tests bags before they're put on the market. However, the TSA does not officially certify them, and reserves the right to remove any laptop bag for inspection. It's reasonable to expect some confusion, especially during the first few months that these new bags come into use.
The Mobile Office Technology section at About.com has a useful "Laptop Bag Buyer's Guide."
Careerbags.com, which specializes in attractive business bags for women, publishes an entertaining weblog about fashionable bags. One interesting section by Ellen Hart called "What's In Your Career Bag?" reveals what women carry in their bags.
Lifehacker has links to two brief articles on how to "Create a Minimalist Laptop Case." One case uses cardboard and duct tape. It looks surprisingly attractive.
