The lay-flat design is TSA friendly
The Everki Atlas may be one of the more travel friendly bags on the market. Not only is it durable enough to handle the trade show circuit, it breezes through the airport as well. I particularly like the fold-flat feature. That means no need to remove your laptop from the bag at TSA security checkpoints.
The back compartment has a “U” shaped zipper that opens all the way from one side to the other. After I unzipped it completely, I could fully open the bag and lay it flat on the X-ray conveyor. That saves a lot of time in a busy airport security line.
Tip: If you pack two electronic devices (laptops, tablets, etc.), be sure to put them into the opposing compartments in the laptop area. In other words, don’t stack them on the same side. The beauty of the lay-flat design allows the TSA agents to “see” through each device on the X-ray.
