Re: TSA Approved Lock or Non-TSA Approved Lock?

I'd recommend using 2x locks if there's eyelets for two. If the locks are not on opposing sides of long lids, it's usually possible to pry the lid open enough to get inside, or to get the contents out..

Regarding types of locks, I haven't flown with firearms since I retired out of the Army. We always used the military "5200" style of padlocks on our Pelican cases. If TSA or Customs anywhere around the world wanted to inspect, we'd have a big key ring to open them up.

But, I don't think there's a TSA requirement for what kind of locks, just that they're locked. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who flys with firearms regularly for their perspective.
