Guess what, commerical airlines do not like locked luggage nowadays. What is one to do? After the baggage is checked (international flights) everything gets zip tied (color coded)... So far so good with the zippered bags, knock knock... They ate the wheels off of a hard case on the last trip though...

If you have the need for locks, purchase the ones the TSA uses. They are marked and the inspectors have keys.

Matt Matt, Some brands will show you if your bag has been opened. If it's been opened and there is no flyer from the TSA showing that your bag was "inspected", then someone at the airline has sticky fingers and I'd go straight to a supervisor and raise hell with him/her about it.

I use plastic cable ties to secure my baggage so if the TSA want to open the bag they can. When I collect my bag if the tie has been removed and not replaced by a TSA on I have a good idea someone has been in my bag. Its a very cheap solution and is better than having a bag wrecked.

So, the OP lost some stuff from his bag. Therefore . . . someone opened it. The airline said "tough cookies, Cookie." So how would the situation be different with the magic lock that everyone can open? What if someone just throws the lock away? Seems to me that the response would be the same--no one will accept responsibility for dealing with the situation, and you're still out your stuff, plus the cost of the Miracle TSA Lock (but wait! There's more! Order now and get increased security!). Mike Beede
