Hi, Andy,
Well, so far, I have had no trouble. When I bought my last piece of
luggage, I was expressly told to go to a different store for heavier locks.
The first time they damage one of my bags will likely be the last time I
fly. I find it a chore now anyway.

Hi Evelyn,
You can't control how many times, and where your checked luggage may be
checked. Even if they check it in your presence, they can check it again at
any point between where you leave it, and when it reaches the belly of the
aircraft. If at any point, they can't gain entry, they can break the locks
in order to gain entry. The locks do keep luggage from accidentally
opening, but they are no protection against anyone who really wants to open
the bag. For instance, if you have a hard sided Sampsonite bag, any key
from a similar bag will open it.
