Lock Your Airline Luggage

Do you know that you can lock your airline luggage?

If you use a special TSA-approved lock, you can once again lock your checked luggage. TSA staffers have special keys that will unlock your lock, so they can paw through your nighties and socks. If they remember to use the special keys, they will not destroy your TSA-approved lock and will merely re-lock it after searching through your old underwear and books.

Some of the locks (all of them?) are designed to let you know if the TSA folks have been in your stuff. There are probably different styles, different brands and different price ranges.

The lock shown in this picture is available at Menard's for less than $7.00. Dinner at Shaw's Crab House not included.
