Answer 1

It depends on where you are going. My family and I went out of the country a few months after Sept 11th and all the new regulations. Many things were stolen from our onlocked luggage. I personally have a lock and use it no matter where I go.

Answer 2

I have traveled a lot since 911. I haven't had any problems with items being stolen and I have never used a lock. My travels have been mostly from Cincinnati and Columbus Ohio to Reno, Nevada. I have also traveled through O'Hare, Dallas, Salk Lake City, Houston, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, all with no problems or theft or luggage related.

Answer 3

of course You seem to have an absurdly stupid theory of the hoops you would be wanting to require the police to bounce by to seek an uncomplicated place of residing. A warrant covers the valuables and all products upon that sources, purely putting the products in a suitcase with sticker on it does no longer mean they'd desire to get a 2nd warrant.

Answer 4

i always lock my suitcase. i never put anything of value in there. I use a small carry on bag i take on the plane and i leave the keys in there.

Answer 5

I always lock my cases - with the tags that show if they have been tampered with.
