This picture, taken at the John Wayne Airport by Matthew Olivolo of MobileEdge shows one of his ScanFast backpacks being inspected by the nicest TSA lady I’ve ever seen. What does this suggest? That perhaps those checkpoint friendly backpacks are finally gaining some traction.

We’ve done reviews of these new backpacks but it’s great to see that they’re working in the wild. Anyone else have any experience with them at a checkpoint?
