Can these be used on check bags (and if so, do you have to leave the key with TSA?) or just for carry on bags?

I use them for the luggage under tag plane. TSA has their own keys. Don't lose yours.

I bought six of these locks and used them on my trips. I have not had any issues with the airlines nor airport security. I used them on checked bags as well and did not have to leave the keys with TSA. I have a already travelled internationally to Europe and Asia.

USA immigration have TSA master key that opens checked in luggage that has TSA approved locks

Yes, I used the lock on my checked bag during a trip from Denver to London without providing anyone a key since they are designed for TSA to have access with their own set of keys. Upon my arrival back in Denver, I unlocked & opened the bag to discover a note from TSA indicating they'd inspected the contents of my bag.

Yes you may use that with Check bags.TSA has master keys to open it,if they need to.you can keep your key.

I read some on some reviews that soldiers used these for travel, but I would suggest checking with the airline first. Also if it s ok to use them on the air line I would highly suggest getting a cable lock I used this for a move and it took a beating from the movers and the handles popped open.

I put them in a ziploc in case they leaked but didn't put them in my liquids bag when going through TSA, had no problems.

You can. I leave them in my back pack & then put them in hotel safe's when I have extra money with me. They are also nice size for passports, etc. You have to take them off if going through the USA full body scsnners.

I think if you leave all the pieces separate you should be able to. I'd put the gizmo in the checked bags and the other in 2 separate baggies in your carry on. Good luck. Call the airline and make sure.

you can place this tool in your checked bag but NOT your carry-on TSA will take it!

yes, I have gone through security at several US airports with the cooler, blue ice packs, and third party sealed ice bags with no problem. You don't even have to open the cooler, but I do take it out of my bag for a separate scan. Only once did they lead me aside to the explosive detection machine and put my (full) milk bags in, but they didn't bother with the ice packs.I suspect TSA sees several of these a day and knows what to expect.

I tried to take similar packs in my carry-on and they were confiscated by security. Pack them in your checked bags and you'll be okay.

Technically it is probably OK, it would be a judgement call by the screener. Is it worth losing it? As far as travelling internationally, it is a crap shoot. I had a similar multi-tool without a blade on my keychain and when I went through screening it was flagged. I tried to explain it didn't have a knife, but the screener just kept pointing to a picture of a leatherman, so I lost it.

For flights/travel/hotels they're pretty sturdy and TSA approved. Of course, if you're worried about some baggage handler using bolt cutters, they won't give you peace of mind. But stronger/larger/thicker ones aren't allowed by TSA. So the answer is use TSA-approved ones like everyone else to discourage petty theft, and keep your valuables with you in your carry on bag.

I haven't needed them but based on other responses, I don't think so. Just be gentle, don't over pack and add luggage straps.

You can probably lock the end of the zipper to the plastic that the strap attaches to, but you'd need a longer hook than a typical, tiny luggage lock. I imagine TSA approved luggage lock would work. The mesh isn't heavy duty, so if someone wants to cut into the bag, it wouldn't be much of a problem. But a lock would deter someone from opening the bag if it was left in a non-secure area. (The bag works great for our purposes. To and from soccer practice at my son's school.)

No, not at all. We got through at least 4 security checks with no issue. I had it in my purse through the first check and when we realized it wouldn't fit on the airline we were flying (Etihad) we kept it in our carry on for the rest of the trip.

I bought a special lock from ACE that the airport people can open. Not sure how but they did not put it back on so I lost my lock on my first trip. Probably will not buy another lock. But elastic straps keep the case secure. They are a must.

I have never had any trouble with these going through the scanner. The checkers have never had to open my bags to scan or see the SKU numbers.

I use them on a laser printer. I am not an expert, but if you have used any other kind of checks similar to these on your ink jet printer, you should not have a problem.

It is designed to be a check in. You wouldn't need this kind of case for a carry on you would just use your regular case. Sometimes the airlines let them on and sometimes that don't!
