Padlock in your luggage

 
Having padlock on the luggage is more than essential, everyone knows about luggage that was broken and things were stolen.
Well, starting with the baggage: if you can, choose one that comes with the linked. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). What is it? In short, it is a type of lock that airport surveillance has a master key, meaning if your bag needs to be opened for verification, they will use the key and will not break it.
 
And why did you notice it? For those who do not yet know, it is possible to open a suitcase, even with a padlock, without breaking it and doing it as if nothing had happened (below is a video). You close both zippers, but still the zipper runs from side to side, it just does not open, right? If you put a pen that forces the zipper it will open and then simply close the zipper from side to side so the bag is closed. So just the padlock is not enough, you should leave it pinned somewhere. So if someone opens your baggage, he/she will not be able to close it later and it will be clear what happened. Watch the video from the second 0:18 to better understand how this happens. Click here!
