To lock or not to lock?

TSA locks don't solve my paranoid has someone been through my undies thing - cause you can't tell if they opened them or not.

 

For a little bit more $, you can get locks that indicate if TSA used their key to open. But those are of no use on a cruise ship.

We were randomly chosen for a TSA check on our cruise to Alaska. You can tell that someone has been in your suitcase. Plus TSA leaves a sheet of paper in the suitcase telling you that you participated in a TSA check.

I would think if you lock your luggage it would raise suspicion. Does it?

So it sounds like it is NOT Carnival that checks for booze, but port authorities and from I am reading also sounds like they don't have tools to open TSA locks. :eek:

It's not port authorities, it is the low bidder security people hired to screen the luggage. They don't have the authority to open or break locks.

I always use the TSA locks, but I've never heard of the ones you reference. Where do you find them?

I bought my TSA locks thru Ebay. They were pretty cheap. There's a little dot on the bottom that changes from red to green when opened.
