    I dont lock them going to the US. Theres no point, if they want to be in they will get in regardless.

    Obviously, I therefore dont keep the camcorder in there, its only clothes. I don't think I would claim on the insurance if a few pairs of jeans went missing.

    My lock was ripped of and I had my case rifled through in LA, but nothing stolen. Although I was both surprised and very pleased that they didn't take my tobacco :confused: Not sure if my dresses didn't fit or they just didn't like my style :D

    You could always try that cling film stuff as I noticed a lot of people use this, but like everyone else had said - if they want to get in to your case then they will.
