In fact, in most instances you are not allowed to be present. So if they don't like the x-ray scan or have a slow day or you just happen to be the 1 out of x that gets a random inspection, then your case will be opened. If there is a lock, the lock will be destroyed in order to open the case.
It is now possible to buy locks which have a small symbol indicating that the security folks (and selected thieves) have master keys. Such locks they will open rather than destroy. Stan ----------------------------- Been a while since I have flown so I did not know this. So you are saying DON'T LOCK a suitcase? And do you have a url or a picture or something of the kind of lock you that mean? (I have never traveled with an unlocked suitcase). Marnie aka Doe
