That is a variation on the twisted wire and has as much or little value to keep people out. It also stops people from stealing thing if they are in a hurry or want to go unnoticed. It is not a lock which does make it less 'screaming valuable'. | |

Also, be aware that the TSA will (legally) break/destroy any non-TSA-approved locks on luggage if they want to check the content. If you travel in the US, any other lock will not survive the first round-trip. I don't know about other countries, but it could well be similar. | |
| Jul 6, 2016 at 12:03 | comment | added | natario | Thank you for your answer. “backpacks are not lockable either” yes, that’s the point actually. I’d just like to feel (not to be) a bit safer. We can say there are no thiefs in the luggage transport system, but if there’s one, I don’t want my bag to be the less secure of the whole plane (and currently, it is :-) ). Also, I’ll be carrying this bag on buses/taxis/whatever to reach and leave the airport. | |
