I always lock my bags before putting them on the x-ray belt. If anyone wants to look through them they have to get me to unlock them, that way I can supervise and be reasonably sure they aren't stealing my stuff. Yeah, they can use their master key, but I've never had that happen out of my presence. I stash my own key buried in an unlocked small pocket or use combo locks.
