The Travel Sentry organization was created in 2003 in cooperation with leading luggage and accessory manufacturers working with the TSA. Travel Sentry® exists to solve the two conflicting needs of the traveling public and the TSA. Most people want their property to be secure when they travel and that means locking their luggage. The TSA needs to be able to get into baggage if physical inspection is required and prefers not to cut off or break open locks. Travel Sentry makes this happen by providing approved solutions that mean that baggage can stay locked and protected! Travel Sentry® Approved locks and luggage enable airport security officers to open luggage for physical inspection when required without the need to cut off or break open locks. This means that passenger luggage can be left securely locked for the entire trip and not delayed or damaged for security inspection. Travel Sentry does not manufacture locks or luggage and does not sell any products. Rather, Travel Sentry sets the standards for this system in cooperation with governments and partnership with the luggage and lock industry. Travel Sentry manages the system for participating governments and provides the necessary tools, training and ongoing support.
