TSA Recognized Locks ?

Thank you for your inputs about the TSA approved lock.

We went shopping at WallMart a few days ago and forget to stop by the luggage area to check the lock. Will come back to see how much it costs before deciding whether I should buy TSA approved lock or not

My recent over sea trip a couple months ago, I locked my luggage , the check in desk did not say anything. When we went thru security clearance, DH got a call from ANA airline and ask him to provide them with the lock ID number so that they can unlock the luggage .

I do not know the cost of TSA approved lock, if it is not too expensive, I do not mind to have it cut occasionally by TSA personnel. However, if it cost a lot, we will use a cheap method to lock out luggage and will carry an extra lock with us.

I just use zip-ties, and keep a stash of them in my carry-on bag. They're cheap, and it's evident when one is cut off. I buy them in bright, unusual colors as clear or black ones are everywhere. If TSA gets into a bag, they put a slip of paper inside telling that they've inspected it and they put on their own zip-tie.

The only PITA is having to dig out some nail clippers from my carry-on to cut the tie when I want into my checked bag.
