And if you do use locks they'll cut them off anyway! There are now locks that are approved by the TSA. They have a special triangle-shaped symbol on them and a slot in the bottom that the TSA has a key to unlock. You can get them from Brookstone - 2 locks for $25. However, I never, ever check any photographic equipment. I have a roll-on photo suitcase that will carry an amazing amount of equipment. We have had crates of medical equipment disappear on the way to Honduras. Once we had to postpone cataract surgery, with over 100 people waiting, for over a week while Continental looked for the missing sterilizer. They finally found it sitting in the rain on the runway in Miami. Don't check anything you ever want to see again. I hope your passport covered any damage and you get brand new M7's ASAP. BUT DON'T EVER CHECK YOUR CAMERAS AGAIN!!!!! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
