Friend of mine had TSA open the TSA lock and leave the bag unlocked. No evidence that they ever opened the bag, just that the lock was opened (apparently deliberately). From what she told me, they told her to leave it unlocked, she pointed out that it was a TSA lock, they said OK, and she found the bag unlocked at the other end.

She says she doesn't usually check bags - only reason she did was that she was given a nice bottle of wine and the *()*& LGA rule prohibit her from bringing it on board.

By the way, this was yesterday at DAY.
