    After all the high cost of flying, we now have to be under these unscrupulous hired employees? How about having cameras in strategic areas where this potential robbery takes place? Don’t even mention about cost. This is THEIR responsibility to hold a high standard that defines them. NEVER check luggage! Humans have become so low.

    Despite being an adult, my favorite suitcase to travel with is a 16.5" little kids' softside rectangular suitcase that's red, yellow, green, and navy that my grandparents gave me when I was 6. I top it off with a blue luggage strap that I snug down to the max (mainly because the extending handle won't stay down any other way; its also the only way to attach it to my wheelchair). I fly carryon-only whenever I possibly can (I've gotten packing down to a science), and I've only ever had to check it on one trip (and for reasons completely unrelated to the type of ticket I got, how much I packed, or a lack of overhead space - the last is never an issue for me because I'm always the first one onto the plane, one of the perks of being a wheelchair user), but it was glaringly obvious both at the baggage claim (hardly anyone would want to take it - it's a brightly colored little kids' suitcase, after all - especially since it already had a ripped pocket from a previous trip (something I accidentally did, not from tampering)) as well as when it was put on and taken off both planes (I sat directly above the cargo door, so I watched it go in and out on both flights). It has an easily accessible outside pocket, but if someone actually had the guts to open it and reach in, all they would find is dirty underwear.

    TSA locks only protect against opportunistic thieves. The keys which open them can be bought from Amazon, and the locks usually have the key number printed on them. Your video shows locks with key numbers 2 and 7, the most common ones.

    Do NOT keep your valuables in your carry on, as some airlines check in your carry on at the gate, due to space limitation in the aircraft it ends up in the cargo hold. Keep your valuables in your personal item at all times. Ramp thieves look for carry on luggage as they know they contain valuables. Report all theft incidents to airport police.

Best thing to do is to have nothing hanging off your luggage! Decorate your bag to make it look different! Write personal information on the inside of your bag! And remember your luggage is handle by TSA,the conveyor systems,then ramp personnel!

      Take nothing of value keep your nice bags for home and go with a regular cheap one that nobody will want to sell. Clothes in your suitcase just get cheaper clothes for traveling. There's nothing we can do about it so all we can do is not make anything valuable to steal.

      They do but airports have a store where they sell unclaimed luggage, but they're taking advantage of that unclaimed loophole so they're taking stuff themselves along with their employees. So that's why you just can't take anything of value at all.

    If you get your bag wrapped in Saran Wrap what happens when TSA wants to examine the bag? Did you just waste $15?

    • @Harteo3917
      @Harteo3917 9 днів тому

      Pretty much lol and it totally happens at random which suitcases they search. Don't bother with padlocks either they break them off and TSA ones are no good when they have a master code. You can significantly decrease the chances of a search by putting nothing with metal in your suitcase not even anything with metal zips. And don't do the army roll with your clothes even if some people do like they could see it as weird your clothes bunched up like that.
      Some people like bringing their coat hangers too i tried it once but i think it's better not to bring any to save space but it got my suitcase searched. Don't take any designer clothes, shoes, or bags either because they'll get stolen and again reduce the chance of your suitcase being opened. It's about preventing the scanners from going off. Just put in your towels, clothes, and a pair of flip flops which can also be put in your carry on bag which is what i do to save space in my suitcase and i don't want them stolen lol.
      If you bring back gifts try not to bring anything back like jewelry but if you do you can pretend it's yours by using a organza gift bag and keep it in your bag, i use them every time for any pieces of jewelry i take although it's best not to take much either.

    I dont think TSA locks are safe,
    as all copies of TSA keys have already been leaked to public,
    and hence a thief with all TSA keys can get into any TSA lock,
    while the thief wont be able to unlock all non TSA locks .
    Which means that TSA locks are more easier to be opened by the thieves,
    compared to non TSA locks

    Get yourself a Suitcase Cover like really lol because it took 1 trip for them to get multiple scratches on my suitcase including the brand plate on it all scuffed up, several tarmac marks, and all kinds of scuffs on the shell casing that looks like it was just slid across the runway floor with force. I just bought one with a zip at the bottom and two holes at the top for the handles it cost me more but it's a good one and of course they're all washable. However the plastic on the handles got scuffed too and i'm thinking to wrap them with some pink duct tape.
    Really nobody looks after our stuff anymore and it could be a hardcase and people have even had huge gashes all way through the suitcase like What on earth do they do with them?. My mum has even had them cut a hole in the side of her hand bags at security so i think maybe they're using a stanley knife to cut through and then reaching their hand in to feel around for anything valuable, and luggage handlers are allowed to have scissors and stanley knives. So it would be a good idea to get a Suitcase Cover.

    NEW SCAM. Thieves lurk around the baggage claim area waiting for bags to come out before passengers have made it to the carousel area. They are looking for flights whose arrival gates are the furthest away. They grab the bag and rush to the DEPARTURES drop-off area and wait for their ride. Nothing stopping them. So make sure your bag is old and beat-up looking. Investment luggage is not the "investment" you think it is.
