Luggage security fail

Posted on February 1, 2011 by alan

I knew the “TSA Locks” were crap, but I didn’t realize the zippers were that easy to defeat. I think I’m gonna find a suitcase sized pelican case and just use that for checked luggage from now on. With a pistol checked inside it I don’t have to use TSA locks either.

Maybe something like this.

    Saw that on TV a couple months ago. Fortunately all they will have to steal will be boardshorts, a dive-mask and flippers.

    Alan,

    The problem with otterboxes of Pelicans is you give up so much allowable weight to the box.

    But….I haven’t figured out a better solution yet!

    I was a little worried about the weight too, but it turns out that the Pelican 1560 is only five pounds heavier than my TravelPro and is about the same size inside. I’m rarely over 40 pounds on that one so I figure I’m ok with the extra weight.
