    Grab a packsafe lock from the link below. They're really good. You just keep the keys in your wallet, so really hard to lose. You can just put the lock through the hole at the end of the zip handle thingies.

    everyone is making you anxious, but on the flip side, I have been to the states every year for last 12/13 years and mine have never been opened.

    I think that 1 of our paty has had a case opened on every third trip or so that we've taken.

    Its not an issue/problem to us, just part of the possibilities if we choose to have a US holiday.

    I have a TSA approved strap, since 2004 never in excess of 20 trips to US has my bag been touched.

    as always with airlines, if there is something you "must" have at your destination take it as hand luggage. cabin crew are usually more than happy to hang clothes bags if you ask
    and any half decent hotel can press clothes in max 24hrs

    I reckon it'll take all of 3 seconds for the TSA to get into those (if they want to !)
