Not allowed to lock checked luggage!?!

Saturday at MSP I checked in for F9
MSP-DEN, and there were TSA people and baggage screening equipment behind the check in counter. The agent asked me if my suitcase was locked, I said yes, and she said it had to be unlocked. She said, "The security screeners will lock it after they inspect it." She then asked how to lock my suitcase and told the screeners to lock it when they were done. After I claimed my bag at DEN, I could tell it had been gone through. Nothing seems to be missing, but this is B)(*&&)t. If they have to search your luggage it should be done like customs, where you can open it and then lock it. Has anyone else encountered this or know of plans for after 010103 when screening of checked luggage will be mandatory? Daze
