![]() Kata has very nice backpack models not too large or expensive. ![]() An alternative is to buy another camera bag that holds your camera gear and laptop. Your clothes are in a third case that you have checked for free. Your laptop is your electronic device that is in a separate bag and will have to be taken out for separate screening as it goes thru the machine in a plastic tray. Your least risky plan is to carry on your camera equipment in your slingshot bag which will go thru the machine unopened unless TSA decides to open it and hand check it. So.I would call the airline and ask.and THEN call the airport and ask there too. You WILL be asked to remove the laptop and maybe even show that it works (boot it etc), but out of ALL the airlines I've flown, only bloody ELAL (the Israeli airline) made me empty my whole camera bag (every single little item) and scanned each and every one FIVE times - I'm telling you, the worst experience EVER! No other airline or airport made me even remove my camera from the bag! If you take another bag - like the small ones with the pull-out handle and the wheels - chances are they will balk. ![]() I have flown more than 10 times a year since the more strident regulations and the usual situation is: your Slingshot should be okay almost everywhere if you DONT take anything else up. Some airlines may allow you to push the envelope with that, but if you show up with a medium camera bag AND a laptop bag, they will not let you through! From my experience, it's pretty much touch and go and the whole situation depends on a number of things: how big your main carry-on is.
