Checkpoint friendly laptop cases must have designated laptop sections which fold out to lie flat on X-ray belts. They must also have no metal zips, buckles or other fastenings inside, underneath or on top of this section; no pockets inside or outside the laptop-only section; and nothing packed in the laptop-only section apart from the computer.
