I have an E-Vest, actually.

I haven't flown because I am reluctant to pay exorbitant prices to be treated like a criminal before flying, then treated like a steerage passanger during the flight.

Doesn't make sense to me. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Why pay good money to be treated badly?

I have heard that one quite a few times now. I'd FedEx 'em. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've used the zip ties too. Not to prevent, but to see if someones been messing with the bag. When the TSA opens it up, they put a note in it and their seal on it. I've also used the large plastic bags over my suitcase too. I figure that the handlers are going to go after easier targets. But the bottom line is don't put anything in your bags you don't mind losing. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The TSA was doing their "bag checks" in plain sight of the checkin counter on the last flight I was on. They were taking every bag, opening it, and putting their little note in there. Near as I could tell, they were doing no actual searching. Although I didn't need any convincing, I'm now even more sure that it's all just for show.
