Sounds good but from experience, I know that any lock can be opened 
by the TSA - so much for security !


I thought the extra security came because the TSA knows there's a 
"weapon" in the bag, lock it for you and keep careful track of it.

Seems a little tongue in cheekish to me. Just because TSA is going to 
make sure they know exactly where your bag is doesn't mean the 
airline will actually manage to get it on the plane with you.

Also doesn't mean someone @ TSA wouldn't steal from the locked 
container - a neat way to get a weapon.

That's the point, they know where it is at all times and who has it.  
Stealing it would be a quick route to unemployment and prison since the 
number of suspects would be strictly limited.



But, the TSA will know WHERE your bag got misrouted to.

Reminds me of a joke about checked baggage I heard comedian Alan King 
tell on the Tonight Show years ago. He said something like "I flew 
into LA, but my baggage got a week's vacation in Hawaii."
