For almost every hardside case I've seen the latches will pop open during rough
handling if not locked. If the TSA does have the keys to the usual luggage
locks out there they are not doing their job. I've got 30 year old keys that
work for the newer bags. Most of the key locks can be opened with a paper clip.

The TSA really has a problem with issue. I've been in some major foreign
airports where if they have an issue with the baggage they page you and then
you open the baggage in front of them. And, they do it before you get to the
metal detectors. Just how hard can that be in the USA? TSA is just lazy.
