Accepts TSA Latches

Everyone has experienced today's airport check-in ritual. Frustrating, exhausting and unfortunately necessary. The design gurus at SKB once again lead the industry by designing cases that accept field installable TSA recognized locking latches as optional equipment. TSA latches allow the traveler to securely lock their cases and still allow airport security to perform a contents inspection, then simply re-lock the case. Painless, efficient, safe!
