The iSafe Bag will keep you and your belongings safe since it comes with a personal security alarm on the strap that will sound an alarm when pulled, and trigger a flashing light. It’s powered by a pair of 9V batteries and the iSafe Bag can sound the alarm for up to 2 hours if you need it that long.

Or it can be set to an interval mode to preserve battery life. Prices range from $59.99 for a kid’s backpack to $89.98 for a laptop-friendly bag. The company even offers a replacement whenever your current iSafe Bag becomes old and dingy, for a 50% discount.

The American Transportation Security Administration has informed travelers via it’s blog, that when traveling to, from, and within the USA, portable computers smaller than “the standard sized laptop” don’t have to be removed from their bags.

So what is the standard sized laptop? Well, they don’t really say. However, Kindles, iPads, Sony Readers, Nooks, and “Net Books” are named as being exempt from the requirement to unbag your computer for the X-ray scanners. Of course, there’s the disclaimer that staff might want to take a second look at odd-looking devices, but for the most part you can leave that e-reader in your bag.
