The new SearchAlert re-settable combination padlock by
Prestolock offers two unique innovations in check baggage security:
1) Search alert may be opened with a secured access device
controlled my Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents. No
SearchAlert lock should be cut off by TSA agents.
2) SearchAlert features a Security Window which changes color
from Green to Red when any secured access device is used.
The Security Window shows Red under the following conditions:
- Luggage checked at an Airport is sent through an electronic
screening. If a TSA agent determines the luggage needs to be hand searched, the
SearchAlert lock will be opened by the agent. When the TSA secured access device
is used, the Security Window changes color from Green to Red. The Security
Window also changes color from Green to Red if a conterfeit secured access
device is used to open the lock.
- If a TSA Agent hand searches a piece of luggage, the agent
will leave a TSA Notification of Baggage Inspection in the bag. If the
SearchAlert lock Security Window shows red, and no official Notification of
Baggage Inspection is found, the traveler should take the luggage to the
airlines luggage claim office to determine if anything is missing or if anything
has been added to the luggage. |
