skeene.jpgThe SKEENER from Skooba Designs will make you the hit of the airport. Is this the first tongue-in-check messenger/laptop bag? From the Skooba site:

This is a courier-style laptop bag with a unique graphic treatment that is bound to turn some heads. The front flap of each Skreener is printed with an actual X-ray of items typically found in laptop and travel bags—computer, phone, music device, batteries, cords, and much more. The designers at Skooba actually “shot” these genuine X-rays themselves and reproduced them in a choice of 3 different flap themes and colors. They may not be enough to bypass airport security, but they certainly will entertain. Yet despite the fun cover treatment, the bags are all business, with Air Square laptop protection, dual audio pockets with individual earphone ports (one for music, one for phone), an expandable main compartment, and over a dozen other pockets and compartments for organizing office, school or tech accessories.

The bag: $119. The resulting cavity search: Priceless.
