Success with TSA approved locks?

[mer]

For those traveling within/to/from the USA, have you had success with the newish TSA locks? Is the TSA cutting them anyways, or have you had success with them?

Mer,

People are reporting that they work well.

I've used them several times with no problems. I have the ones with a 3 number combination.

I was curious the first time, so I moved away and watched the guy open the lock, search the bag, and relock it. The process went just as its supposed to.

We've used them for quite awhile now, haven't had any problems.

I have used the locks for a few trips between ABQ (Albuquerque) and DTW (Detroit) and I have had the locks unlocked by security for inspection and no locks cut.

I've had good luck with the new locks.

Yup, that's what prompted me to ask, I didn't want to make the other thread go off topic of MIA, but it did anyways.

We've used them for a couple of years and have found a note in our bags just once from TSA with our locks locked on the outside of the bag. We like them and feel that they deter the casual thief.

The only problems we have encountered is that on one occasion the TSA did not lock the locks after inspection. They were just dangling open when we picked up our baggage
