#TSA-approved locks

[colorisbyshe]

Okay, for those of you with experience with flights, I’m going to Vegas for a long weekend and I have a checked bag. No carry on, just a small personal bag that’ll be with me on the plane

Details to consider:

I’m pretty much just bringing clothes and toiletries

There will be several hour gaps between when we get to/leave our hotel and when we’re at the airport

We’ll likely just use the luggage service at the hotel but might take our bags with us

There will be two checked bags between three people, idk how relevant that is but idk!!!!

The luggage weighs more than the duffel bag and technically has less space but has wheels and a handle and is sturdier. Has more vulnerable (???) pockets

I haven’t been on a plane in like a decade and most of my travel is to peoples houses and not hotels, so I’m truly at the mercy of your advice

About to board some flights , had a lil inspo for my fav Jaybird <3

no tws besides flight anxiety ? unedited.

fluff, pre-established relationship, gn reader, comfort for jason from reader.

Jason didn’t like flying. He hadn’t flown since he went to find his mother, and the trauma which ensued after that didn’t help his anxiety. But you hadn’t seen your parents since you moved to Gotham, and you wanted them to meet your boyfriend of 2 years. They had only spoken to him on the phone.

So you wrestled him into flying to your parent’s lake house in New Hampshire. Only a 2 hour flight, and within the United States. Easy, short and simple. You even took over packing for him, buying everything and anything TSA-approved and measuring every bag for carry-ons.

You went through his closet and held stuff up for him to approve or deny, and rolled everything into a suitcase and stuffed it to the brim. Your stay was two weeks in a guest room, and you wanted to make sure he was as comfortable as possible .

Luckily , your flight was not a red eye for the surprisingly cheap price. You were set to depart at 12:30 PM and arrive around 2:30.

The day of the flight, all packed up and ready to go, you noticed Jason pacing around the living room quietly. “Jay, honey , what’s wrong ?” You asked, lightly treading into the living room and tapping him lightly.

“Just..just nerves. Haven’t flown in a while, y’know?” He says, turning to face you. “It’s okay hon, you should get a drink before we get on. The airport is one of the only places you can day-drink and no one says anything.” You say, laughing. He nods and maintains a frown, and you take his face in your hands and rub your thumbs across his skin lovingly. “Jason, it will be fine.” He sighs and pulls back, nodding and grabbing his suitcase and backpack from the couch. “Seriously , Jason. New Hampshire is nice! There’s not a lot of crime, and lots of nature, and my parents are gonna love you.” You say, keeping your gaze focused on him.

“Oh! Our Uber is here ! We gotta go!” You say, scrambling to grab the matching suitcases and your backpack. You grab Jason’s muscular bicep and drag him out the door, locking it behind you and pushing him towards elevator of your apartment complex.

Upon exiting the elevator doors and arriving in the parking lot, the Uber is parked closely to the sidewalk. The driver pops open the trunk and Jason takes it upon himself to load up the trunk with all the luggage , being mindful of the attached neck pillows on each handle. Jason opens the back door of the car for you and shuts it, joining you on the opposite side and watching the driver start up the car.

The driver pulls away and heads onto the main road, playing music and allowing you to talk to Jason. “I texted my parents that we’re on our way to the airport , and they’re really excited to meet you.” You said, starting the conversation. Jason smiled slightly and grabbed your hand with his larger, calloused one and held it tightly. It was these little things that Jason did to let you know how he felt. Anxious but loved . Excited and nervous and probably more. “It’s okay , Jay. It’s just one flight. And we won’t have to fly anywhere else anytime soon.” You said, running your fingers across some scarring on his knuckles. “And hey, maybe next time, we can drive over. Make it a road trip! See some roadside attractions or something. Wouldn’t that be fun?” You add, smiling at the idea. Jason takes a liking to it as well, evident by his grin.

“Yeah, y’know I’d love that.” He said, grinning. “We could rent a van, and drive through national parks. Oh! And imagine reading a book overlooking beautiful lakes and scenery. That’s what we’ll do next visit. We’ll drive!” You say, cheerfully which seems to loosen Jason up slightly.

The car pulls up into the assigned gate, and Jason steps out first, opening up your door and taking your hand to pull you out. You thank the Uber and tip him on the app, and Jason pulls all the luggage out of the trunk, slinging his backpack over his shoulder and holding yours until you take it from him after putting your phone away. You bid the Uber farewell and grab your suitcase handle from Jason, and you trudge forward into the bustling Gotham airport.

You pull up the boarding passes on your phone and head straight for TSA, looking back to make sure Jason was following. He trails behind with a nervous tick on his face, which looked more aggressive due to his overall appearance. You hoped he would loosen up once you got him something at a bar.

Passing through TSA and it’s miserable lines, you drag Jason with you to your assigned gate and look around for a bar, quickly spotting one and beelining for it. Jason orders a gin and tonic, and you push him to sit down near the gate. 1 hour till the flight, and you both are okay. Travel-size bottles, clear bags for liquids , and you’re 85% sure you didn’t overpack. You’re okay. Jason seems okay too, nursing his drink while taking in the surroundings.

“Jay, you don’t need to be in vigilante mode right now. Literally nothing gets through TSA. This is a vacation, not a mission.” You said, sighing as you watch him survey the area suspiciously. ���Sorry… just… a force of habit, y’know ? Always alert.” He says, downing the rest of his drink in a quick gulp.

“I packed you a book in your backpack by the way,” You start, glancing at him. “It’s called ‘East of Eden’, by John Steinbeck. I think it’s American classic literature…. it’s supposed to be a retelling of the book of Genesis. It was on sale at Barnes & Nobles so…..” You trail off, gauging his expression. He nods and taps his large fingers on his dark jeans, one finger at a time. “It’s for the flight , and our downtime at the house. There’s probably not movies on the flight because they usually only have that for long haul flights. Maybe one day we can take a long haul flight ? Just once, to … I don’t know , Ireland ? London? Where would you want to go?”

He glances at you and cracks the smallest smile, and nods before reaching for your waist, grabbing it with his rough, large hands and hugging you, leaning his head in the crook of your neck. “Ya know I’d go anywhere as long as it’s with you. But Ireland …. doesn’t sound half bad.” You smile at his admission and hug him back, glancing at the tv detailing the time. You’d be boarding in 10 minutes, one group at a time. You were group 4.

10 minutes of future travel plans, and you grab Jason’s hand to stroll on over to the boarding station. You scan your boarding passes once more and end up as seats 26 E & F . Jason takes your suitcase and hauls it up into the overhead compartment , his following suit. Ever the gentleman, he helps an old woman with hers as well , storing it for her and then following you to your assigned seats, sliding your backpacks under the seats in front of you. You then motion for him to take the window seat.

He looks like he isn’t exactly fond of the idea, but obliges. You scoot in next to him and immediately yank up the arm rest, wanting to be as near to him as possible. You lean against him and hold his hand and wait for the other passengers to board, enjoying the bustling atmosphere of the airplane filling up.

When everyone is seated, and the plane starts rolling down the runway, you feel Jason’s hand in your own tense up, and you squeeze it reassuringly.

You glance at him, as he looks out the window and then back at you, and the plane prepares for takeoff .

“You ready?” You ask.

He squeezes your hand back, “Ready.”

til when a lock is tsa approved it explicitly means that the tsa has keys to open it

[emmashouldbewriting]

Regarding the lock box - I seriously doubt the weapon was in the box at that time. This is most likely a TSA approved box for transporting weapons and ammunition on flights. Because the box is handed over (checked baggage) to the airlines to be transported, there might not have been room in the bodyguard's backpack to pack ite. My guess is, he only took the backpack he is carrying for an overnight trip. That said - I would think it a bad idea to have your hands tied up and a backpack over your shoulder, limiting your ability to draw and fire when your body is unbalanced and hands are full - especially when transitioning from a building to a car, where danger is heightened.

But doesn't it make sense for the security to remove the weapon at their earliest convenience? Like you said... before going from building to car where he's probably the most vulnerable.

Idk. Knowing them, there's a freaking nerf gun in there and it's all smoke and mirrors like usual.

Eric Albuja: Smart Luggage for Frequent Travelers' Advantage

Traveling frequently can be an exciting adventure, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. From navigating busy airports to ensuring your belongings stay secure and easily accessible, frequent travelers need luggage that offers more than just space. Enter smart luggage – a game-changing innovation that promises to enhance the travel experience. Eric Albuja, a travel tech expert, is a big advocate of smart luggage and its benefits for those constantly on the move. Here’s why.

1. Convenience of Built-In Charging Ports

For today’s traveler, staying connected is a must. Whether you're using your phone for navigation, business calls, or entertainment, keeping your devices charged while on the go can be a hassle. Many smart luggage options come equipped with built-in USB charging ports, allowing you to charge your phone, tablet, or other electronic devices without searching for a power outlet. This is especially beneficial when you’re navigating large airports or long layovers.

2. GPS Tracking for Peace of Mind

One of the most frustrating experiences for any traveler is losing your luggage. However, with smart luggage, this fear is greatly reduced. Many smart luggage options are equipped with GPS tracking, allowing you to track your bag’s location through a smartphone app. If your luggage gets misplaced or delayed, you can easily pinpoint its location, ensuring you don’t have to waste time waiting or worrying about where it went.

3. Enhanced Security Features

When you’re on the move, the security of your belongings is a top priority. Many smart luggage models come with built-in anti-theft features, such as lockable zippers and TSA-approved locks. Additionally, some smart suitcases offer biometric locks, which allow only authorized users to access the luggage using fingerprint recognition. This added level of security provides peace of mind when traveling through crowded airports or unfamiliar destinations.

4. Lightweight Design and Durability

Smart luggage is not just about tech features; it’s also designed with durability and ease of use in mind. Many smart suitcases are made with high-quality, lightweight materials that make them easy to maneuver through busy terminals. The wheels are often spinner-style, providing smooth 360-degree movement, and the materials used are designed to withstand the wear and tear of frequent travel.

5. Smart Travel Assistance

Some smart luggage comes with additional features, such as a built-in scale to weigh your luggage, ensuring it doesn’t exceed airline weight limits. Eric Albuja shares Other models may include a proximity alert system, notifying you when your bag is within a certain distance of you. This is perfect for times when you need to rush through the airport or catch a flight and want to keep your bag within reach.

Final Thoughts

Eric Albuja believes that smart luggage is a valuable investment for anyone who travels frequently. The convenience, security, and added tech features that come with smart luggage make it more than just a suitcase—it’s a travel companion. From tracking your bag’s location to keeping your devices charged and your belongings secure, smart luggage offers numerous advantages that can make your travel experience smoother and stress-free. If you’re a frequent traveler looking to upgrade your luggage, investing in a smart suitcase might just be the best decision you’ll make.

5. Travel-Friendly Features

Zipper locks add an extra layer of security, especially when traveling. Many backpacks include TSA-approved locks, allowing for smooth security checks at airports. This feature is a game-changer for professionals who travel frequently for work.

6. Comfort and Ergonomics

Comfort is crucial when you’re carrying a backpack for extended periods. Business backpacks are designed with padded straps, ergonomic back panels, and lightweight materials to reduce strain, making them ideal for daily commutes or business trips.

Upgrade Your Travel Routine: Convenient and Secure Travel Locks for Every Adventure

When preparing for a trip, many travellers focus on packing essentials like clothes, gadgets, and toiletries, often overlooking a crucial aspect—luggage security. Whether you're a frequent flyer or an occasional vacationer, securing your belongings should be a top priority. A travel lock is not just a convenience; it’s a necessity for ensuring the safety of your luggage in busy airports, hotels, or unfamiliar destinations. In this guide, we’ll explore why upgrading to a convenient and secure lock is essential for every adventure.

Why You Need a Travel Lock:

Travelling involves constant movement—checking in at hotels, boarding trains, or hailing cabs or keeping your valuables in the hotel room. Amidst the excitement, the risk of theft or tampering with your luggage increases. That's where a secure door travel lock becomes invaluable. It provides peace of mind, ensuring that your bags remain untouched and your valuables safe from opportunistic thieves.

A quality travel lock prevents unauthorised access to your belongings. Whether you’re exploring crowded tourist spots or staying in hostels with shared spaces, a secure lock ensures your bag remains inaccessible to strangers. Additionally, many modern travel locks are TSA-approved, which means security officials can open them without damaging your luggage during inspection.

Types of Travel Locks 

There are various types of travel locks designed to suit different needs and preferences. Understanding the options available can help you choose the most convenient and secure travel lock for your trip:

Combination Locks: 

These locks are popular because they eliminate the need for keys. You simply set a numerical code that unlocks the device. The absence of a key means you won’t risk misplacing it while on the go.

Keyed Locks: 

Traditional keyed locks offer a classic security option. Many travellers prefer these for their simplicity and the added sense of control a physical key provides. Just be sure to keep the key safe.

Cable Locks: 

Cable locks are versatile, allowing you to secure multiple bags together or fasten your luggage to a fixed object, like a bench or railing. This feature makes them ideal for times when you need to leave your bags unattended for a short while.

Smart Locks: 

The tech-savvy traveller might opt for smart locks, which can be unlocked via Bluetooth or an app on your phone. These locks often come with additional features like location tracking or notifications if someone tampers with your bag.

Features to Look for in a Secure Travel Lock

When choosing a travel lock, consider the following features to ensure your lock is not only secure but also convenient to use:

Durability: 

Opt for locks made from high-quality materials like stainless steel or alloy. These are more resistant to tampering or cutting.

Compactness: 

A compact and lightweight lock is easier to carry and attach to your luggage.

Weather Resistance: 

If you travel to humid or rainy locations, a weather-resistant lock ensures longevity and prevents rusting.

Conclusion:

When planning your next trip, don’t underestimate the importance of a secure door travel lock. With a variety of options available, from traditional keyed locks to advanced smart locks, there’s a lock for every traveller’s needs.
