TSA Authorized Locks
Allow TSA Officials to Search Luggage without Cutting Lock |
 
Travel Sentry™ is the new industry standard for luggage
locks. Thanks to Travel Sentry™, it is now possible to
lock your luggage again when you fly. Since January 2003
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has asked
passengers to leave their baggage unlocked or risk their
locks being cut off. The TSA uses the Travel Sentry™
system which works like this:
1.
Each Travel Sentry™ Certified lock has a unique red and
white diamond which alerts the TSA that this is a lock
they can open.
2.
Each lock has engraved upon it a special code which the
TSA uses and helps them identify how to open that
particular lock.
3.
The TSA has special codes and tools which allow it to open
your lock, inspect the bag, and then relock and send it on
its way. |

it free of charge.
 What
is a Travel Sentry Certified Lock?
Travel Sentry Certified Locks have been
developed through unprecedented cooperation
between luggage, lock and travel accessory
manufacturers, retailers, and the TSA. Travel
Sentry Certified locks are sturdy, die-cast
combination devices that carry the red and white
diamond-shaped Travel Sentry logo and a special
TSA code on the bottom.
How
are Travel Sentry Certified locks different from
other luggage locks?
Only Travel Sentry Certified locks allow airline
passengers once again to lock their bags with
confidence. Before now, travelers either had to
leave their bags unlocked or lock them and risk
the locks being broken by TSA screeners if the
bags need to be inspected. Because the TSA
recognizes and uses the Travel Sentry locking
system, its screeners can, through a secure
procedure, unlock Travel Sentry Certified locks
if bags need to be inspected. TSA screeners must
cut off all other types of luggage locks if they
need to inspect bags.
How
do I know that the Travel Sentry system is
secure?
The TSA strictly controls the distribution of
the special codes and tools used to open Travel
Sentry Certified locks. Only qualified personnel
with the TSA will have access to these tools.
What
about the airline check-in people, who always
tell me to leave my checked bags unlocked?
Airline check-in personnel are being briefed and
trained to recognize Travel Sentry Certified
locks and to understand that those bags may
remain locked as they go through the screening
process.
What
happens if I use a Travel Sentry Certified lock
and it’s cut off when I travel?
The TSA has been fully trained to recognize and
use the Travel Sentry Certified locks. However,
if a Travel Sentry Certified lock is broken
during travel, simply return the lock and we
will replace it free of charge. We ask that
customers provide your receipt, the Travel
Sentry Certified lock that was broken, along
with the TSA Notification of Baggage Inspection,
and let us know in which airport the bag was
checked (and screened) so that we may notify the
TSA. |
