You make good points. However, ever since Lockerbie I've thought that
each bag should be checked. I'd love for there to be alternatives but
I haven't heard of any.
I use TAS-approved locks. In theory TAS can unlock and relock those,
but what happens when one flies out of the US? Snip-snip.
I do think that everyone on board, including crew, should fly
naked...Except Cap'n Bob.
