I always use a TSA approved lock to keep my luggag secure. Never had
a problem even when traveling to the Phils.
Now for the shocker. I saw a internet video last week that
demonstrated how to open a zippered suitcase with a ballpoint pen. I
wish now I hadn' deleted it. The person inserted the pointed end of
the pen into the zipper and pushed it from one side to the other.
When he was done he was able to close the zipper. No damage was done
and no way of telling it was ever opened.
When you got to your destination and opened your luggage you realized
that you were ripped off. Of course since the suitcase is still
"locked" you assume TSA did it.
