When I checked a bag this morning, I secured it with a colored cable tie that could be snipped If the bag is checked. Since it only had clothing and shoes, I wasn't that worried about it.

At baggage claim, the cable tie was gone. Apparently, TSA was "helpful" and locked my bag for me with TSA "supplied" and approved lock. Now what?

I don't have the key and it's not my lock. I guess I'll have to break it off somehow.

Is this just an isolated incident?
