Hi All
I am travelling on the Yosemite tour going on Monday. I saw in small print that putting locks on your suitcase was not advisable, if they need to search your suitcase at the airport for any reason they can damage your suitcase getting the lock off. I am not a seasoned traveller yet so any advice would be appreciated. Do I put lock on or not!

Locks which comply with TSA,the US security at airports,allowing them to open cases for inspection are commonly available.If they do inspect your case,they leave a note to say they have done it.
Having said that,sometimes the TSA locks don't function properly,and I have had to get them cut off at the hotel,because of that,I always carry spares.Make sure the combination locks work before attaching them to your case.
If you don't use TSA locks,security will break the lock to inspect the case.
