(It's not really "locked" but it will slow down most pickpockets enough for you to realize what's going on--or for them to slink off in search of easier prey.) Once I get a netbook-sized laptop (I'm waiting till next year for the first flurry to settle down) I'm getting the MetroSafe 200, which is the one Ricky linked.
They have lots of other bags, all with lots of security features -- http://www.pacsafe.com |
Oooo ... now, see .... I didn't even know there were other models. I got mine through Herrington ... I'm going to have to check out the other ones as well. The 200 (so that's what it is ... hmmm) also has the little zipper locks, however, if I put my Kindle in the front pouch, then those do not work. If, instead, I put my Kindle in the main pouch, then the locks would work.
Hold on .... I take that back, I just tried the zipper locks with the Kindle in the front pocket, and they work just fine.
However (and there always seems to be a however), the way the flap fits over the front of the bag, and the way the Kindle and my iPod and phone fit nice and deep in their pockets (and the two smaller pockets have safety tabs) ... really it would take an amazingly clever thief to get those things out without me noticing.
OH .... and I just realized after looking at the site, that the little turtle thingy on the front of the bag is really a earphone port!! Now that's just too cool!!
