AT NW LAX check in, do the TSA check the bag at check in, or after, so I can lock my bags after they check??</font>
At any airport, once the TSA completes screening on a piece of luggage, the owner can not handle it...this would defeat the purpose. Normally, you can ask them to lock a bag after they complete their screening.
