I bought this: Master Lock 4688D TSA Accepted Cable Luggage Lock, Color May Vary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WO84Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1Rsmxb9GPKWSJ
People recommend cable locks sometimes since they're more flexible to lock things. Also this one is pretty light.
I use these. Easy to use. Safe. Small. And if for some reason they need to check your case while you aren't present, they can open it and relock it. With other methods your case would stay unlocked and vulnerable until you were able to lock it again.
Had my bag gone through during Motorhead in 2014(RIP Lemmy). but luckily I had my wallet and phone and stuff in front buttoned pockets so they only ended up getting a pack of smokes from me.
Since then I go empty in the pockets and everything in one pocket in the camelpak which I bought a small lock for. Has key and combo options. Basically just thread the lock through the double zippers for the pocket.
It can be a little wonky to get the timing of stuff down for what you actually want/need at a particular time and not always be fiddling with your bag but worth it at the end of the day I guess.
This wouldn't stop any of the knifing comments I've seen below but I've also never had that happen to me.
I've done this a bunch of times.
The answer is "yes," provided:
I went through TSA about fives times with this case and four locks similar to these.
Here's how that looks:
This has been pretty consistent, in my experience.
Hope that helps! Open to any questions.
>Is it worth to repair or buy a new one?
I mean you could just buy a different lock for it.
Ahh thanks. It looked like it.
As a fellow tightly packed case enthusiast, I like what you've done. Looks like you're in for a nice trip.
