[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1637712, member: 63925"] I have also used HVAC cable ties that are 42" long and 1/2" wide and just about as tough as steel as a backup for locks on case. Once my case is inspected, I cable tie the case shut in 2 places where my case actually has 2 separate grooves at either end almost like it was made for that. I told TSA it was precaution in case a lock failed and so far it has been ok. I put extra ones in the bottom of the case for return trip. I haven't flown with rifle in about 5-6 years so it may be different now but still worth the extra security since no one can open without cutting them off. Just a thought for added security. I will say with all of that, Delta lost my rifle for about 8 hours on a return trip; handler decided to secure it and forgot to bar code where it was at (at least that was the word). Now that was fun time to unravel. Gave them credit, they searched every secure holding spot and found it finally hours later after I was actually home. Sent it to my airport and hand delivered it to my house. Perfect condition, just another typical traveling snafu. [/QUOTE]
