They have opened my dive bag on every trip in the last two or three years.

thanks Chadd...they have only done it once to our knowledge before we got the locks and there was a note...I bought the locks after that just in case "someone" forgets to leave a love note for us the next time or in case next time it's not TSA.

I should have added, that we did have our TSA approved locks on our luggage. The locks were locked and undamaged when we arrived in Aruba. So no harm done and nothing missing.

i used TSA locks for the first time this past trip.

I didn't want to put the Engagement ring in my carry on, or on me. As the idiots at TSA, might out me with the ring, and the whole beach side plan was ruined. So i bought the locks, put the ring in several socks, then bundled with a shoe, then in a pair of shorts.

I could just see them telling me they want to check my bag, i whisper to them its an engagement ring, and the person says, " what, an engagement ring" in a loud, annoying voice?

I have a huge rant on the American TSA agents at Aruba airport, but i'll save it.
