Today’s security precautions require that some of the luggage that is checked into the custody of the airline be physically opened and examined. When this policy was first put into effect, travelers faced the choice of not locking their luggage or the risk of their locks being removed if their luggage was chosen to be searched.
Today, there are luggage locks that have been approved by the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). These locks provide security throughout your safari while allowing the TSA to open your baggage if it is chosen for inspection, without destroying your locks. TSA approved locks can generally be purchased wherever padlocks or travel items are sold. For more information regarding these locks, we suggest you visit the TSA website here.
