TFAR have you tried the bag personally yet? Your criticism of the latching mechanism was the same one I had before testing it. I can honestly say that the clip system works a LOT better than you would think at first and it is fast. Not to mention you get the added benefit of placing the computer in the middle of a protective sandwich.

I can be unbuckled and into the x ray faster than I used to be able to pull my laptop out of my backpack, 100% of the time.

No, my only real complaint is the off centered handle slip over which just was not thought out well.
