That is what we have done. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

So now you have to make a note of where you last positioned the zippers. | |||

Zip ties are easier to back out than locks. Doesn't take much. | |||

Well, not all of us travels by plane that often. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use TSA approved lock. Otherwise, I would have just tied the zippers with shoe laces.

The simple fact is if someone wants to look in your bag they can. Zip ties and TSA approved locks make it a little more difficult. I will use zip ties sometime but that's it. The only time I use locks is with firearms and then it's real locks, not those tiny TSA ones. It sucks but it's how it is. Pack valuable stuff in your carry on. I've given up caring if they open my bags. I think I find those TSA notices in my bags close to 50% of the time. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

TSA has access to TSA approved locks. That’s why they specify not to use TSA luggage locks on gun cases when traveling with firearms. You were on an international flight - TSA is not the only ones looking at your Luggage. Japanese Customs and U.S. Customs and border protection both had the option of inspecting your luggage. | |||

So a question for those of you that have used heavy duty zip ties.. How do you open it when you get to your destination...assuming that your edc knife is not in your pocket? ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

I would say the opened and moved with no note was border or customs, since they have area in the fact you are bringing back foreign items. They probably scanned, saw , and inspected. They dont need to leave a note as far as I know, which is to say I doubt they will. Why announce you check bags? Used guns deserve a home too | |||

How you should pack next time? Can you elucidate? "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||
