Luggage locks
Travel Sentry developed a lock system that is "accepted and recognized" by the TSA and other security agencies, and allows them, using special tools and codes, to open and re-lock locks. The tools provided by Travel Sentry are at every luggage screening checkpoint at all 450 airports controlled by the TSA.
The Travel Sentry system is used by security agencies in Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Netherlands, Switzerland and the USA.
The system is licensed by over 500 companies worldwide: primarily luggage brands, lock manufacturers and distributors of travel goods.
