Airport security accessory pouch

Abstract

A collapsible pouch removably attaches to carry-on luggage, e.g., a roll aboard suitcase, at the top handle with attaching, adjustable straps, and generally lays flat on a face of the suitcase. When open, the device exposes a large pouch where shoes and other objects can be placed. Inside the pouch are two small pockets where money change, large jewelry, a passport, a cell phone, or the like could be placed. When closed, the pouch folds up, e.g., in three, and remains closed and attached to the suitcase by the straps attaching to buttons, snaps, or other securing devices.
