I've since heard that you need to have a so-called Travel Sentry Lock (TSA Approved) for travel to the USA.

These allow customs officials to open your cases without breaking the lock and they can secure your bag again after checking it.

Wish I'd have known before because I need a new case now!. I've just bought six for my family from a website called www.tripneeds.com they have these locks quite cheap.

I think Amazon also sell them as well, but they cost more.

Take my advice and get some of these locks before you travel to the States - it's worth it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12778 Airport transfer - The Supershuttle http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1187 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1187
