That hurts. Are there security cams on these folks?

I have a set of TSA locks. I just don't expect checked baggage to be secure.

As a CCW instructor I frequently travel with my EDC guns. Some observations from two recent trips, one to Denver and one to Seattle.
  • The airlines and the TCA agents don't understand the rules on where the declaration tag goes. When I identify myself as an instructor, they pay attention.
  • Bright colored handle covers are insufficient to discourage someone from picking up the wrong bag.
  • Bright tape (1.5" wide) outlining my initials on the front and back of my bag works better.
  • Most of the TSA agents that process the bag engage in interesting conversations when they see my handguns and how they are packaged and secured. Even got some leads for students from one of them in Seattle.
  • The TSA compliant locks vary in quality and it's hard to tell from the ads. I prefer the ones with a combination lock and a flag that tells me it has been opened by the TSA.
  • My EDC Surefire Defender E2D LED remains in my pocket next to my necessarily empty holster.
  • All my expensive toys, except my guns with their attached Crimson Trace laser sights remain in my old fashioned attache case under the seat in front of me.
