Question

To protect you and your fellow passengers, the Transportation Security（安全） Administration (TSA) is required by law to check all checked baggage. As part of this process, some bags are opened and checked. Your bag was among those selected for check.

During the check, your bag and its contents may have been searched for items forbidden by law such

as fireworks, fuels, gunpowder, etc. At the completion of the check, the contents were returned to your bag, which was resealed（重新封口）with a "special" lock.

If the TSA screener was unable to open your bag for check because it was locked, the screener may have been forced to break the locks on your bag. TSA sincerely regrets having to do this, and has taken care to reseal your bag upon completion of check. However, TSA is not liable for damage to your locks resulting from this necessary security precaution (预防措施) .
