    For those missing the point.... The following perhaps demonstrates better.

    Personally, if someone is going to gift me a kilo or two of Colombias finest, it's all good. ;)

    Nice one Tojo. The thought of something being added to your bag, perhaps in any corner of the world, is even more scary than having something nicked out of it. Guilty until proven innocent is more common than may be thought. Of course any bag can be opened if one is determined enough, but why make it so ridiculously easy and quick. A Tescos plastic bag with the handles tied is just as secure as one of these suitcases.

    Surely any decent thief will have a pocketful of cable ties ready to use? isnt it more likely that a thief will think "theres something in this bag worth stealing" if you use this method?

    apart from suitcases being virtually unlockable to those who want to get in, stealing suitcases must the easiest trick in the book for thieves as well, there are just too many people who could get access to your bag when its out of your sight
