Think your luggage is locked?

7 posts
  1.  

    I try not to put anything of value in my checked luggage, but who knows what a thief might think is valuable.

     

    Thank you to my friend Allan (okuma) who sent me this link.

  2. wow... That's not good. :)

    Maybe I should wrap my luggage in plastic to keep the uninvited quests out :)

  3. "Luggage is never locked.... ha ha!"

    I've seen that done at airports. I've always wondered why. Now I know.

     

    I hope thieves don't watch you tube

  5. the tsa does not need this, they just open the luggage any way they want. My last trip I used a plastic zip tie to lock the zipper so if the tsa wants to open the bag, it would be easy. So what did the tsa do, they cut the metal buckle instead.

  6. The TSA employs some idiots, the rest of them maybe a step better. I had a lock attached to a D-ring on the side of my bag, completely separate from the zipper, they cut the lock off anyway. They can't even reconnect straps or replace a ziptie (as they have in past advertised they will). I read some time back that people even have their "TSA" locks cutoff rather than opened with the master keys. But what do you expect from them, they don't exactly pull in the people who are going to get paid big bucks.
