OK, these have been available for awhile... does anyone who has used
them have any comments? Have they gone through security checks unscathed? Have they been cut off anyway? I'm wondering if I should invest in them now or use up my combo locks first. Candy -- starting to think about packing maybe Product: SearchAlert $9.99 "This new re-settable combination lock offers two unique innovations in luggage security. SearchAlert can be opened with a device used by the Transportation Security Administration to avoid having your locks cut off your bag during security screenings. The locks also have a security window that changes color when override devices are used. This feature alerts you in the case that a security agent has searched your bag and not left you the proper documentation. If this lock is ever cut off by a Transportation Security Administration agent, we’ll replace it free." |

Have used the cheapo cable ties on many, many flights since 9/11 and have
had them cut only once. Can be a problem on hard-side non zipper bags, but you can improvise. "Candy" wrote in message ...

I have used them, but have yet to have TSA open them. Go figure. But
locks work real well. If you haven't picked a company we use tamperseal.com . They are based in Tampa. David |

Candy, last time I flew out of Miami I asked about using "TSA friendly"
locks at the Delta check-in counter. The gate agent is probably STILL laughing. His comment was that if they had a key to open those locks, it was probably "misplaced" already. Use cable ties. I've only had them removed by TSA a couple times. I'm at 50% as far as TSA replacing the tie with one of theirs. Best, Linda CruiseDiva.com http://cruisediva.com |
