Re: Cling Film Luggage

I've started to see this more often at airports so I googled it and apparently it's most common in countries like Africa and South america where drug smuggling is a problem and yes, the customs can ask to open the case but apparently that doesn't often happen with the more sophisticated X-ray machines now. Interesting.

Re: Cling Film Luggage

Hi

I travelled extensively, soon got fed up with things disappearing, so hard shell luggage for me, with tape on the locks.

The thieves will always look for an easy target.

I thread a cable tie through the little padlocks. It's easy to snip off when you arrive, and you can immediately see if it's been tampered with. Simple.

Anyone who has used an expanding soft fabric suitcase knows that at one time or another the zip has jammed..and no matter how hard you try ..it stays jammed.

What amazes me is just how easy it appears that these zips seem to work for thieves!!!
