So they just break the luggage instead...

I'd rather have them wreck or take a $10 lock (I prefer the ones with use indicators, haven't seen those 4/$11 yet) and have my suitcase arrive at my destination in functional condition.

But I resent like **** that my taxes pay for an agency that causes this "choice."
