See information below received in regard to Security Locks you may wish to consider on your travels to the USA.
Travel SentryTM locks were developed through cooperation between luggage, lock and travel accessory manufacturers and the TSA.
Under this system, TSA screeners are able to unlock and then relock luggage without damage through the use of passkey sets that are available to TSA screeners. Travel Sentry locks are accepted and recognized by the TSA for use at all airports where TSA screening is performed. However, TSA does not approve or endorse this particular product and we expect additional vendors to provide different versions of these "Dual Custody" padlocks to the retail market. While we cannot guarantee that Travel Sentry or locks will not be broken during security screening, we do request that you report such incidents to the TSA.
Contact Center (TCC) so that we can take appropriate action.
