As airport security gets tougher to bypass, and when it seems like a new security restriction is introduced every day, it’s difficult to stay abreast of the ever-changing rules of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and to always be completely prepared to breeze through the security line with ease.

 

However, travel product company ECBC developed a line of TSA-friendly carry-on luggage that will make it easier to zip through security. A line of bags from ECBC is equipped with the company’s signature FastPass System. Part of this system features an easy-to-access electronics compartment that rests on the top of the luggage when it lies flat. Therefore, when you place your luggage on the conveyer belt before sending it through the security scanner, the electronics compartment is the first thing the scanners will see, making it unnecessary to unzip and unload all your devices into separate plastic tubs.

 

Two of ECBC’s bags (the Sparrow garment bag and the Pegasus backpack) also have built-in ECBC Portable Power Packs. With these bags, you can charge your laptop, tablet and mobile phone without having to remove the devices from your bag, ensuring a safe and secure place to energize your valuables.

 

The two security-friendly bags are available on ECBC’s website for $399.99 before shipping and handling. They can also be purchased at AAA Travel Stores throughout the country. Learn more at ec-bc.com.
