I do however know of many cases where things have been REMOVED from a bag (Heathrow wasn't known as Thiefrow for nothing).
So can anyone tell me why the US has such a problem with locked luggage hen the rest of the world doesn't - or is it a Halliburton subsiduary that makes the TSA approved locks?
Most of the time locking a bag is useless anyway - you can just stick a pen in the zipper and unhinge them, take what you want from the bag, and then zip it back up again without ever touching the lock... So unless you have a hardshell case with those clasps instead... But then again it's not funny how generic those locks are, so... I suppose the idea that it keeps honest people honest could apply...
