A couple of years ago, I was taking longer trips and had to check a suitcase on occasion. As an experiment, I took a blank CD, wrote a title on it like: "Jenna Jamieson classics" (not sure I even spelled her stage name correctly). When you opened up the disc, I created a folder called "movie". Inside the folder, I had a single powerpoint slide saying something like (can't remember the exact wording):
I put the CD in a clear jewel case so one could clearly read the title. I put it in an outside compartment where it would be clear to someone searching my luggage that I had expected to arrive with the CD still in my luggage -- i.e.: I didn't place it on top of everything completely exposed. I locked the suitcase with official TSA-approved locks with the "I've been opened" indicator, so it would be pretty obvious who had been inside.
The little experiment proved successful twice in 6 tries. In each case, the screeners had opened the suitcase because I had the TSA greeting card and the lock indicators had been tripped.
- Greetings, Mr. Transportation Security Officer!
- You've taken the bait -- Sorry to disappoint you.
- You're nothing more than a thief and common criminal.
- Have a nice day.

I thought I was pretty clear in an earlier post. Yes -- the DVD was stolen. Whether or not the thief watched it at work or at home wasn't the point of the experiment.

OK. Thanks for clarifying that!
For the people who posted earlier (I think it was on this thread!) about buying newer, bigger, better, non-TSA locks ... be aware that if your bag has a zipper, anyone who knows the 'tricks of the trade' can open it in about 3.4 seconds without needing to unlock it. Just sayin'!

I asked Blogdad Bobover at TSA to reconcile the message I received from the "TSA Contact Center".
As typical, Blogdad Bob crawled back under his rock when faced with a real question about the various responses TSA has given on this subject. I guess you just pick the answer you like on any given day.
A typical government spokeshole!
Nothing like multiple choice TSA policy.
