You're probably more at risk of getting mugged while you're stopped in the parking lot locking your bag
I thought his solution to the problem of pilfering from screeners and other passengers was a good one. It's much harder for people to steal things from locked bags-- and it requires TSA to wait for you to get there and observe their shenanigans before they can open your carry on and rifle through it.
As for the risk of getting mugged... would that be coming from the TSA folks that were discussed as wandering around parking lots and looking into rental cars with flashlights a few weeks ago? (Yeah, I saw the opportunity and just couldn't resist...
)
