Yeah, I know that the USA can open bags but this was between LED (St. Petersberg) and SVO1 (Moscow-Sheremetyevo)

I had been through the ex-ray machine with the bags (this is done before check-in in russia, and you get a sticker on it to say it was scanned.

The Padlock was back on the zips but open - odd - I'm not even sure it is a TSA approved padlock? I think in the UK they have to call you to security to rifle through your stuff.
