> stealing your valuables > So, to recap: the TSA can break your stuff A simple, free solution to this issue: check a firearm in your luggage. It's a federal issue (violation of 14 CFR 108.11 [1]) for anyone to have access to said luggage except yourself. This includes the use of TSA locks - you are the only one who legally may retain firearm-containing-baggage keys. I have never had an issue with lost, tampered, or stolen luggage. I routinely fly with tens of thousands of dollars in electronics and equipment, plus at least one handgun/ammunition. No problems. In the event of an alarm, you're required to be present for any manual screening. Manual screening is often not necessary (depends on the airport/equipment/experience of the screener). I should note: this only works if your "luggage" is one solid, hard case. I use a large, undivided Pelican case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002E6R7NG http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002E6R7NG [1] http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-1999-title14-vol2/xml/CFR-1999-title14-vol2-sec108-11.xml http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-1999-title14-vol2/xml/CFR-1...
