TSA: Notice of Baggage Inspection 1)
ta
The TSA requires access to air passengers' luggage for security screening in the US, sometimes without the passenger being present.[69] To allow luggage to be locked for protection against theft, the TSA has approved certain locks, identified by a logo on the locks. TSA personnel can then freely open and relock these locks with tools and information supplied to them by the lock manufacturers. Luggage locked with other types of lock may be forced open, often destroying the locks or zipper eyelets. Various TSA-approved forms of padlock, lockable straps, and luggage with built-in locks are available. VE+IKj!VG0
