Baggage content theft, and damaged luggage has been discussed
frequently here. Is there some sort strap with a TSA lock attached, to
wrap around my suitcase available?. Most luggage available today does
not seem nearly as strong as what I have and since I seldom fly (last

way to better secure the contents. .Lee

Theft is rare, but it does happen on occasion. You can still carry most
anything valuable on board with you, so you shouldn't be putting it in
checked luggage. If you concerned about the bag popping open or to deter a
casual thief, you can buy a simple strap to go around the bag. I've
traveled often by air for over 40 years, and have never locked my bags. Who
would want my dirty socks anyway?
