Is it a problem to padlock your suitcase flying to USA?
I'm flying BA in a few weeks - LHR to BWI (Baltimore USA). I hadn't given it any thought and was going to padlock the zips on my suitcase, but I see on an online shop a padlock that has in description:
"Allows only American security personnel to examine bag without damaging this lock" and "Recognised by American Travel Security Administration (TSA)".
Is there something I need to know?
Thanks
PS - is there a thread anywhere in relation to the latest whispers/news regarding a potential BA strike? I'm flying on 27/01/10 and a little concerned I may get hit by a strike.
