Is this a TSA approved bag ?

No. You need a hard-sided, locking bag tor transport weapons. Check with your individual airline for specific requirements.

Nope, TSA never never never allows a computer or even an iPad to stay in the bag. This bag just makes it easy to remove the offending electronics for their inspection.

Verify with TSA. But I believe no. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items#4

Depends on your situation. I have the lock so the contents of my luggage won't spill in the event of a tear. TSA opened my bag up on my last trip which is why it's a requirement for checked luggage to have only TSA approved locks on bags.

I've never flown, so I couldn't answer that question. I've used this bag to carry boxing equipment, baseball equipment, and clothing/shoes. It's pretty big.

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.

Elliot is correct, it may get scrutinized, I was told it was very dense and the TSA would appreciate it being taken out of your bag and placed separately like a laptop. I started doing that and now have no problem.

Possibly, But even though the manufacturer claims it's TSA approved - TSA confiscated mine. I even had the original packaging. I contacted the company, but they never replied.

I fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

Confirm with the TSA - I do believe so. But I would recommend always using a rigid and rugged case. Have you ever watched how they handle your luggage?

no. It does have some holes (3) which allow you to put a bolt and nut to secure it so that TSA can open it if necessary to inspect it, with damaging it.

This is a soft case/cover. I don't know what the TSA regulations are for transporting electronics.

Yes they do, TSA had no problems viewing and inspecting my item. They have a master key to open the case, you will also want to purchase a TSA approved lock as added security, there is a place to add a little pad lock to the case. This case is really nice, has rollers and a handle. No problems with this case, I love it

They claim 'airline approved'. It has 2 separate locations for locks, but hard to know without asking the TSA directly.

No - this is NOT TSA approved. I have had a few taken from me at the airports. But - you CAN put it in your checked luggage.

I would reccomend checking with TSA to make sure the item is not on the no fly list.

Yes. I had this bag with me as a carry on during my flight to Asia. Keep in mind, it doesn't fit under the seat. It only can be stowed away on the cabin compartment. This is a great bag. I really like it.
