According to the information at the TSA website, this my not be the case:
Baggage Security Checkpoints

TSA screeners exercise great care during the screening process to ensure that your contents are returned to your bag every time a bag needs to be opened. TSA will assess, on an individual basis, any loss or damage claims made to TSA. You may call the TSA Consumer Response Center toll-free at 1-866-289-9673 if you have questions.</font>
This website also suggests using cable ties as an alternative to locks and states that if your luggage needs to be searched, the ties will be cut and then replaced. Is this true??
