That’s exactly what I do, I lock my roll a board with a small combination lock and my attaché case, which has a built in combination lock so no TSO can open my carry ons out of my sight.

I know I have to give them permission to inspect my carry ons, but it will be done in my presence and I make sure they change their gloves before they open my bags.

Why do I do this, to prevent some sticky handed TSO from stealing anything out of my carry on luggage or damaging anything, do I trust TSO’s, absolutely not, enough of them, over 200 in the past 2 years have been arrested for theft.

And that is just the ones that have been caught.
