Kenneth Cole REACTIONManhattan Colombian Leather Slim 16" Laptop Checkpoint-Friendly Anti-Theft RFID Business Backpack

Q: will this fit a 17" macbook pro?

Absolutely. It’s a wonderful piece.

Q: Will this fit a 15.6 inch laptop? or the 16 inch compartment is made to snug thin computers such as macbooks?

Hello, we appreciate your question. Yes, this backpack was designed to fit a 15.6" laptop. The rear laptop compartment should fit your 15.6" laptop, even if its thicker than the 15" macbook. Hope this helps!

Q: Does this bag have a USB port?

No, there is not USB port on this bag.

Q: What makes this "checkpoint friendly"? are tsa agents aware of these products or are they just going to say to take the laptop out anyway?

Hello, we appreciate your question. This is a TSA approved feature that they are aware of. There is a middle zipper section that fully un-zips separating the laptop compartment from the rest of the bag. This allows the TSA to see into the laptop compartment without any other items getting in the way. You will only need to remove your laptop if you have other personal items in that same compartment as your laptop. Hope this helps!
