text: Unfortunately, some of us still have to work this summer. Someone's gotta pay for all those vacations! Make the trip through the throngs of leisure travelers at security a little faster with luggage that lets you keep your laptop inside. The compartments of the ECBC Sparrow bag lay in the front of the bag and unzip such a way that the laptop lays completely flat -- while in a pocket -- but leaves it fully exposed for TSA.
