Luggage and Locks

[Jedi5]

Does anyone here lock their luggage when checking them in for your flights?
It has been so long since I have traveled. I thought I read that they are cutting off locks from luggage now?

Also read about I think it is TSA locks? Are those the ones to use now?
I'm guessing those aren't being cut off?

thanx

From what I've read, customs ARE now opening luggage and will cut off locks and tags securing bags unless they are carrying TSA Luggage Locks (which customs have a skeleton key for) so that they can unlock them and then re-seal them if necessary.

We bought ours from a shop over here in the UK for about £7 each.
