Travelling to the USA – Luggage Locks Security

Travelling to the USA – Luggage locks security is a challenge. You are required to leave you bag unlocked in case airport security needs to check its contents. Make sure all your valuables are with you when you are traveling into and out of the US.

Alternatively, there is a special lock to allow the US Transport Security Administration (TSA) to unlock and re-lock any checked bags after inspection. These locks have the label Travel Sentry Certified which is a red diamond logo. Premium luggage manufacturers like Tumi, Desley, Paklite and Samsonite make suitcases with these locks built in.
