[SML] TSA Locks are Junk (Dave Wortman)

[Stuart Wheaton]

Pelican cases don't have zippers.  My 1510 is nearly dead black on 
x-ray, they open it almost every time, but I have never had a 
significant theft.  I often just put a zip tie through the hasp holes 
with extra zip ties taped inside the lid so they can re-seal it ( and 
they almost always do).

I have had my bag opened and rearranged many times, and about 1 time in 10 they leave their little “we had to open your bag” notice. Have had flashlights, crescent wrenches, cell phone battery chargers, bags of quarters, and once, a pound of jelly beans “go missing”.
