It's hard to maintain your dignity in an airport security line when you suddenly realize both your socks have holes in them. But one luggage manufacturer offers a solution for making your trip through security simpler.

Briggs & Riley's 20-inch Baseline Carry-on Computer Upright eliminates the need to carry separate luggage and laptop cases. We tested this bag and found it simplified airport security checks. The bag, which comes in black and olive, has a pocket in the lid to store a laptop and a main compartment big enough to pack clothes for a two- to three-day trip.

Price: $325; available at many luggage retailers, or go to www.briggs-riley.com.
