Yeah I know what you mean. Last week I get to Detroit airport to take a flight to Nagoya, Japan and they tell me at the check in to unlock my bag. If I don't they said they are authorized to break it open. Jeez.
Now, I don't mind if they want to look BUT I would like them to look when I am there. I can answer any questions right away and take care in closing the bag again. (mine was jam packed...I wasn't sure they could close it again)
When I flew from Japan to the U.S....they put all your bags through an x-ray machine BEFORE check in. If they want to open your bag, they pull you aside and ask you to open it. No worries or problems.
They should do that in the states. We should all write to someone and suggest that. Seems a lot more logical and problem free if you ask me.
