Locks have to be TSA approved, your advice won’t add any protection to luggage.
Edit: there must be a comprehension problem. Op suggested to use a lock, TSA locks are not helpful for luggage without a firearm. Traveling with a firearm and using a non-TSA approved lock is suggested and the right approach. Never did I say use a tsa lock with a firearm.
- geoduck14 3y ago>Locks have to be TSA approved, your advice won’t add any protection to luggage. Allow me to repeat that to people that are unfamiliar with the TSA. Your locks on your luggage have to be approved by the TSA -so they can break into your luggage
- notyourwork 3y agoYou missed my point.
- randombits0 3y agoNegative, eager, young space cadet! TSA locks are expressly forbidden on gun cases. You must use your own, non-TSA lock.
- xethos 3y agoMeaning one can visually identify which luggages have firearms inside based on the lock alone?
- j16sdiz 3y agoNo. People travel regularly with non-TSA approved locks. The TSA stuff may cut it open when they see one.
- notyourwork 3y agoSpace cadet? What?
- wl 3y agoThat's generally the case, but not true here. 49 CFR § 1540.111(c)(2)(iv) requires that when firearms are transported in checked baggage, "only the passenger retains the key or combination." TSA approved locks are not allowed here because by their very design, the TSA retains a key to the locked luggage. That's why when traveling with firearms, you'll either need to wait by the bag drop for 15 minutes in case the TSA calls you to unlock your bag or you'll have your bag inspected in front of you.
