Re: Travelling - interstate via airlines.. case?

I use a Pelican 1120 (squeezes in a Kahr CW9 and 2 mags, no more!)inside my luggage and 2 locks, one on each corner. It's tiny...so nothing bigger than my little Kahr is going to fit. It was like $25 at Academy. The next larger one is just over $40 IIRC.

I just came through Philly...no hassles (Continental) except waiting at the ticket counter for the baggage lady to walk my case back through TSA. 5 extra minutes, tops. The baggage handler in Corpus wanted to see it in the case, the folks in Philly didn't even ask to see the case in my luggage. Both put the red tag in my luggage beside the case.

As I understand it, the purpose to the TSA locks is to allow the TSA to open for inspection without cutting your lock. If you don't use a TSA lock, and they can't find you, yours gets cut and your luggage then stays unlocked for the rest of your trip. Not a good idea IMHO.
