If you have soft sided luggage, a determined thief will not even bother with the locks when a knife will do the job much more quickly.
I never lock my bags, but then, I never pack anything of substantial value in my checked luggage. Jewellery, electronics etc. go in my hand luggage - however, I do often put all the cables etc. in my checked bags, they're no good (or cheaper to replace) to a thief without the actual item that needs them.
Does anyone know where I can buy one? I have soft bags that I need to lock with a padlock. I heard that for travel to the US you need special locks that security or TSA can open with a master key.
Any idea where I can buy these locks in Dubai?
Thanks!
