Five ways to keep your luggage safe through the airport

Good advice! I'd also suggest a tight belt around most any suitcase. I've seen countless "exploded" bags on the carousel. Not a pretty picture. I'm very much for hard-sided luggage: http://bobarno.com/thiefhunters/2008/10/luggage/

Yeah, I had my bag "explode" on my trip to spring break this past year. I didn't have a TSA lock, but I figured my bag would at least stay zipped shut. Of course after one more round with the Airport crew it broke right open and I ended up losing a couple things in my suitcase! It's ridiculous how unaccountable airlines are for some of the damage that they cause.

Based on some of the comments here, I think I'm going to try and go a different direction than TSA locks the next time I travel. I did find these things called Luggage Huggers that seem like they could do the trick. And I don't think I'll be misidentifying my luggage with one of these on either!
