Lock suitcase or not if state bound?
Flew with TED/United a couple of weeks back. On return leg when checking in with TED at Vegas enroute Chicago then LHR to connect with BMI to GLA. Rather unfriendly checkin person told us all to take away the pad locks and use plastic ties to secure the bags so that if after security scan they wanted to rummage. United said this was now policy for all USA flights. Is this true? Naturally the operator and come to that BMI never informed us of this. Just curious.
