Style Name:Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had no problem with using this bag through airport security and it fits fine under the seat. It's a very roomy bag and I was able to fit three changes of clothes plus heels. Here's another trick for using this bag: put your liquids in a bag between the two compartments so when you unzip the bag to go through the x-ray machine, you can toss your liquids into a bin. No need to fish it out of the main compartment.

Style Name:Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase
After dropping my laptop in Dulles Airport after getting through security, I knew there had to be a better way. This was much cheaper than the replacement CD-Rom drive that got broken.
The side pockets are easy to throw in drinks for those long, dry-air flights. The laptop section held a 15.4 Dell M4400 (the widest brick-heavy laptop out there) with ease. I love the section in the back padding that allows you to slip it right over the handles of your carry-on with having to worry about it falling off. The middle section gives you plenty of space for magazines, notepads and a some snacks. The pouch section holds my USB drive, iphone and blackberry cables, as well as perfecly holds my noise canceling head phones. The zip-thru pouch that opens up is great for putting a jacket in. So when you unzip to get through security, you throw the jacket in the bins, when it comes out "cooked" on the other side of the X-Ray you through it right back in once you zip it back up.
The greatest part is that it all fits comfortably under the seat in front of you.
The only thing I miss is that my old targus had a shoulder pouch to keep a pack of cigarettes\cell phone in.
I can make it through security, without juggling 3 bins like I use to. Now it is this backpack first, bin full of my shoes, belt and ziplock bag, all being pushed along with my carry-on. I can get through the security X-Ray and running out the other side in less than 30 seconds. Assuming I dont have that guy that has to make 4 trips through the detector cause he forget to remove his keys first, then his belt, then his watch. :)

I purchased two of these, one for me and my girlfriend, for a recent business trip. It sure was easy to pass security this time without having to remove my laptop from the previous laptop bags I own. The pockets were roomy enough that it was able to hold all my techie gear.
