What tips do you have to avoid luggage being opened and pilfered by TSA? What types of items trigger a hand search?
Your curling iron is never the reason your checked luggage is searched. Various shampoos, various lotions, could be the reason why. As far as checked luggage goes, the machine "decided" your luggage needs tk be searched, not a TSO.
What else do you always have in your luggage? Books, magazines, foods?

It's pretty much a given they will open the bag, though I have been lucky and nothing has ever been taken.
Some wine alarms, some do not. I have noticed a trend which kinds alarm...

Depends, as there are different size ctx machines. Some can handle them, some can not.
