is this backpack checkpoint friendly ?

I just took the backpack through Newark Airport a few days ago, just had to take the laptop out of the bag as always, could leave the battery in. No problems, went right through.

If the question is, will you be able to pass it through security without taking out your laptop, than the answer is No.

You'll need some sort of attachment point on the pack where the pack's strap meets the pack, but it doesn't have to be bullet proof. I've even threaded the cotton carrier strap through a keyring and attacked the keyring to my pack

I haven't tested it to the breaking point, bit I carry a laptop, tablet and multiple products for work in it without issue. It has been very rugged so far.

This is my daughter's back pack and she stopped using it after some months so my data is not strong.Tipping -- I haven't noticed and bottom collapsing the same

We carried ours on once and checked it at the gate a few times. They always offered to check it, so I don't think it would be an issue.

This backpack is not impermeable... It will be ok to protect it if starts to rain and you arrive fast to a dry place.

I've had no trouble checking the bag through or issues with the zipper. Of course, a safety strap would be a backup if you're concerned.

Not any more than a regular backpack with padding on the back panel, but I think that is pretty standard on most backpacks. I would not carry a laptop in it.

i don't think i can answer this without further testing. i tried a 18 inch ruler and i can get the bag to latch but there is a gap between the top latch and the bottom bag portion. as best i could say is that yes you could lug your laptop in this bag, but it may be somewhat exposed in one section. still, i wouldnt trust any pannier to stay entirely water tight no matter what the companies claim . i mean,. i can damn near fit a old pizza box sideways in mine, but im not sure you want your laptop sticking out. thats a pretty big laptop! hope that helps somewhat i wish i could tell you more, i know they]r not a cheap gamble! i don't think i can answer this without further testing. i tried a 18 inch ruler and i can get the bag to latch but there is a gap between the top latch and the bottom bag portion. as best i could say is that yes you could lug your laptop in this bag, but it may be somewhat exposed in one section. still, i wouldnt trust any pannier to stay entirely water tight no matter what the companies claim . i mean,. i can damn near fit a old pizza box sideways in mine, but im not sure you want your laptop sticking out. thats a pretty big laptop! hope that helps somewhat i wish i could tell you more, i... » Read More i don't think i can answer this without further testing. i tried a 18 inch ruler and i can get the bag to latch but there is a gap between the top latch and the bottom bag portion. as best i could say is that yes you could lug your laptop in this bag, but it may be somewhat exposed in one section. still, i wouldnt trust any pannier to stay entirely water tight no matter what the companies claim . i mean,. i can damn near fit a old pizza box sideways in mine, but im not sure you want your laptop sticking out. thats a pretty big laptop! hope that helps somewhat i wish i could tell you more, i know they]r not a cheap gamble! « Show Less

I have owned mine for about 8 months now and subject it to constant travel in my laptop backpack along with everything else. It has not failed me thus far.

Nope! This is the real deal. Just see that it is from the seller "Maxpedition" and you are safe. I have a few fake backpacks (bought cheap from other pages) and the quality cannot compere to this :)

Yes it is! The ports are all protected, and you can literally leave the Pak anywhere with no issues. I dropped it one time pretty badly (fell out of my bag from the 2nd floor of my place fell on tile 1st floor) and got scared that I had broken it, but it barely had a scratch on it and worked just fine.

I have been traveling with this in my wallet for over two years. For the first year and a half, there had been no issues and I went through security without problem with it in my wallet in my backpack. Over my last two trips, my going through security had been delayed due to the Wallet Ninja being seen in my carry on luggage. Each time, they detained my bag and hand examined the Wallet Ninja and determined that it was within guidelines. One agent even commented that it looked like a good tool and recommended that I pull my wallet out to have it screened separately. My advice is if you don't have a lot of time, either take it out to have it screened separately or leave it at home. I have been traveling with this in my wallet for over two years.

I don't think you can ever say something is 100%, but if you use it the way it is designed it should protect your gear. Also I always take the extra step of putting my iPhone, wallet etc in separate ziplocks as man extra layer of protection.

Yep - partially blocked, however it's never stopped me from loading in whatever I needed. Camp chairs, duffle bags, etc... I guess if you were going to put a large cooler or anything else that shape it could be a problem.

I haven't tested it yet but from looking at it the theory is it separates each compartment allowing for a perfect scan of each item in it with the laptop being on the outside instead of the middle like most cases, but rather or not they wont just tell you to take it out anyways is still left to be seen. Like I said I don't actually know and have not tested it at the airport yet.

It's more of a travel bag. You must take the backpack off to get your gear out.
