Laptop Bags and Contest Day Five
by Andrew McCaskey
The TSA article and commentary from Computerworld are right on the money. Traveling with as many as three laptops, plus the normal geek basic load of goodies, I’m very familiar with the process.
The TSA and manufacturers have teamed up to offer bags that enable you to carry a laptop and NOTHING ELSE. No cables, no power blocks, no cube taps, no Wireless mouse, no thumb drives. This will scan beautifully. Only trouble is, it then breaks the two item carry on rule – one of which is the garmet bag/rollaboard.
Only a bureaucrat assisted by the National Luggage Dealer’s Association (founded in 1925) could have thought this one up.

========== 31 Days of the Dragon ======
Today’s entry form is here.
Long weekend coming up on the 31 Days of the Dragon promotion. Since I plan to take the holiday off to add things up and polish up the random number generator on Monday, there will not be a podcast on Monday – just a web posting of the winner sometime the evening of Monday the 26th. And, if you have supplied a phone number I will be contacting the winner by phone and email. The show that will air Tuesday the 27th will be produced Monday night, and get posted so that will announce to the world.
I will also draw an alternate in the event that we do not have a response and completion of the award within 72 hours to the satisfaction of BuzzCorps LLC. I will not share that winner until the next TechPodcast Roundtable – so there is still a chance to win a nice prize. Not as nice as the one from HP, but still good.
There will be a lot of entries that you will need to keep up with this weekend. Here are the active contests that will finish up and close, as well as new ones opening:
