"It was very commonplace, very," said Pythias Brown, a former TSA officer at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey who admits he stole more than $800,000 worth of items from luggage and security checkpoints over a four-year period. "It was very convenient to steal," he said Now, even more convenient! |

Always stepping on our necks! What people fail to realize is that together we have the power to over throw these people Elites or the Bilderberg group that controls the worlds economy, but no that won't happen because the general population of children are influenced and manipulated by social media via twitter, Facebook, and rap music videos popular trending on YouTube. Its really the parents fault but most of the sheeple for letting the country change the way that it has. |

On the luggage there was the normal combination lock and beside it a keyhole, but no keys were provided. After some reading I discovered the keys were in the hands of the TSA! Quoting: Person445 TSA-accepted Locks A TSA-accepted luggage lock allows baggage screeners and security agents to open your suitcase for inspection using a universal master key. A number of manufacturers produce TSA-accepted locks, and they're sold under different brand names. The TSA requires the packaging to clearly state that the lock is accepted and recognized by the agency and may be opened by a TSA master key. When shopping for a TSA-accepted lock, look for the Travel Sentry or Safe Skies logo on the packaging. The Travel Sentry logo is a red diamond, and the Safe Skies mark is a red torch.

| ladulce User ID: 38037366 United States05/29/2013 11:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | they've been doing this for years. if they suspect something they have the right to look in ur luggage and if u dont have a tsa lock they will just snap the one u have to look inside. if u have a tsa lock then they can use their key which fits all tsa locks and look inside without breaking ur lock. sucks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19256665 What I do- particularly when traveling internationally is close the zipper with colored zip ties. This way, if customs decides to unlock my suitcase, they just cut the zip tie instead of breaking the lock (which can break the luggage). They re-attach them with zip ties (white or clear), so, because I use green or orange, I will know that they have been opened, and can closely inspect to make sure nothing is missing from that piece of luggage. |

They can't use the key slot and they can't open that shit when ever they want without your cooperation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16499015 They cut the lock off. Happened two of the last three times I've flown. They leave you a nice letter inside. Carefree highway let me slip away on you. |
