Ron,
You hit on the one time that luggage goes through customs without
your presence. If your luggage is lost, misrouted, etc you are
required to sign a form giving permission for the lock to be cut so
a customs check can be done (forget TSA locks they are only valid
within US). I just had this happen in Aug, when my bag caught up with
me 5 days later, the locks had been cut and several items were
missing, luckily I learned long ago that nothing valuable ever goes
into checked baggage. And besides it's not customs you worry about,
its the baggage handlers.This is not urban legend, at major airports
in the US baggage handlers have been caught on tape going through
passengers luggage prior to it going to the plane or the baggage claim
area.
