and NOT a TSA-approved lock, either.
you want a lock on your luggage that will slow the TSA down and you can be present when they do a bag search.
Interesting suggestions, and practical. The other users here should be thanking you. But one must remember that the TSA folks are not the one's catching flights, so slowing us down also slows down the line. As long as inconveniencing your fellow passengers does not bother you it certainly should not bother us.
