Baggage search
Is any body else tired of opening your suitcase to find one of the cards from the TSA and then realise your clothes are just one big mess.

I started using tie wraps on my luggage when locks were no longer allowed. Ever since i did that, my luggage has not once been opened by TSA. I haven oticed that I will get an occasional TSA sticker on my luggage but my original tie wrap is still in place.

The tie wraps are probably less obvious. I''ve always been tempted to take a small safe to the airport and check it as baggage. It's within my airline's weight limit for bags, but no way TSA has a tool to break it open. :) |

I thought that the correct word for the safe situation should have been "disrupt". ;) |

Travel Sentry Locks
Just to let you folks know, cutting a Travel Sentry Lock is a bad thing now. It has to be reported by the managers to TSA HQ. If there is a passenger complaint about a TSA approved lock cut and not reported, the culprit is sent to the checkpoint for punishment. :D But seriously, it is not smart to cut one of these locks, the whole screening staff at our location has been warned.
