TSA hopes to avoid future delays with Apple MacBook Air airport screenings

MacBook AirAs Adam Fisher-Cox posted a few days ago, the TSA was baffled by a MacBook Air. The reasoning behind this is because the MacBook Air is almost as thin as paper, and is a different shape to the standard laptop. Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) are trained to look for anomalies in passengers’ baggage. Obviously, the MacBook Air is one of these anomalies.

A writer for the TSA Evolution blog, “Bob”, is hoping to make sure that staff are informed that they know what MacBook Airs look like under an X-ray, so that future delays because of this can be avoided.
