All U Need 4 Travel: December 2010

Tuesday 28 December 2010

Just what is the TSA and what is a TSA lock?

We sometimes get asked what a "TSA lock" is. Well it's the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) which is an agency of the US Department of Homeland Security responsible for security in all modes of transportation in the United States.

The TSA is allowed to open and search air passengers' luggage for security screening in the US. It is allowed to cut open, destroy, or otherwise disable locks during a search. This is obviously a bit inconvenient if its your baggage that they chop up!

Therefore, the agency has sanctioned two companies to make padlocks, lockable straps, and luggage with built-in locks that can be opened and relocked by tools and information supplied by the lock manufacturers.

TSA agents have these tools, as do certain authorized security agencies such as UK Customs (so not just important if you are going to the US). This means that your locks can be opened, the contents checked and the whole thing reclosed without them having to resort to slicing through your favourite bag and leaving your undies exposed on the luggage carousel!

We sell a range of TSA sanctioned products including the straps and locks.

A busy period and then it snowed - twice!

It's been an incredibly busy time here at AllUNeed4 but it looks like the Xmas rush is abating as we get closer to the big day and the cut off for postage looms.

The weather has hit with a double whammy, first the supplies couldn't get here, then we couldn't get out to the post office! Hopefully all the customers will receive their parcels in time for Santa to deliver.

This was the view from the office this morning!



Merry Xmas everyone..
