[BC] TSA Lock???

[John Buffaloe]

Whenever I fly with a guitar in a road case I always open it to find a "TSA
was here" greeting card and lots of fresh finger prints all over the body.

 Of course !

 But the fact remains, it's now illegal to lock your luggage such that
 it can't be tampered with.
 If you do, the TSA *WILL* break into it, and it will no longer be locked,
 with exception of a TSA approved tamperable lock.

 The right of persons to be secure in their personal belongings has been
 traded away for security !

 Whether that's a good thing depends on your politics.
 Mine are with Ben Franklin on this matter.
 Clearly, he was right.
