I was required to unlock my
Sportube and suitcase at LAX last weekend, fortunately they do the
inspections in front of you at the United baggage counter. I'd used a Ty-Rap on
the Sportube because I'd misplaced the lock - they cut it off & tried to us
a twist tie to close it. I put on another small Ty-Rap but it broke during the
trip. I'd suggest using some kind of carabiner / clevis pin for future travel.

By the way, I have traveled with my Sportube alot since the new security stuff came into play. WITH PADLOCK. That includes international travel in the last month.
