I just flew SAN-LAX-TPE-BKK and back. Lock remained intact the whole
way there and back. In SAN I was able to talk to the TSA agent over
the barrier and tell him I would provide the key if he needed it. He
did not need it. I brought extra locks in my carry on so I could
relock it if it was cut. Buy a three pack of locks at Walmart for a
few dollars, lock it, and if the cut it what can you do. If they
don't then that's even better.
When does the TSA cut locks?
