I don't remember. I didn't have too much of a hassle. Actually, I am more likely to have the Eee OUT and using it in the airport and I suspend it before going to the other side. What I can tell you is I HAVE left the Eee in it's sleeve and have never been asked to remove it. YMMV on all of this. I think even if I did have to take the Eee out, it's not as big a deal as taking the full blown laptop out. Plus many bags have this weird pocket setup in that there's other stuff that can fall out when you open it up to take it out. For one that isn't TSA Safe, but is easier to deal with at security, try Ogio's Metro. It has a laptop only pocket so you can leave the rest of the zippers closed before putting it on the belt.

I'm curious about whether you've gone through a TSA checkpoint with the load you mention, as it includes a EEE in addition to a larger laptop. It seems as though you might have to remove one of the laptops from the bag for a separate screening to make it work within the TSA rules. When I've traveled with more than one laptop there always seems to be a bit of agent-based freaking out, so I wonder whether this arrangement helps reduce that. Thanks for the great review, Joel.
