Which forms of luggage protection don't TSA and airline ticketing agents find objectionable?
Upvote:2
There's a rather novel approach you could try to cause TSA to be lighter on your luggage, and that is fly with a firearm. Even a starter pistol will work for this.
The general idea behind the strategy is that the TSA isn't allowed to open up luggage with a firearm unless you are present. This means that your bag will get searched by TSA before it gets sent with the other luggage to be loaded into the aircraft. Furthermore, luggage types that aren't normally allowed (hard cases, non-TSA approved locks) are allowed if there's a "firearm" in the luggage.
There are quite a few anecdotes around the web of people who use this trick claiming that their bags after being checked by TSA are given extra attention to prevent being lost, though there isn't any public acknowledgment by TSA, and individual airports/officers don't always follow their own required policies with firearms. The theory is logical though: They wouldn't want to lose track of a suitcase full of firearms at an airport.
If you do decide to try this trick, be sure to follow the TSA's rules with packing firearms very carefully.
