9. I always lock my luggage with a TSA-approved lock.

If you’re checking into a hotel before your room is ready, you may have to check your luggage with the front desk for a while. I also once saw baggage handlers at the airport curb checkin open a bag and rifle through the contents. I haven’t checked a bag outside since then. I also like to have a lock on my luggage in a hotel room since I’ve had items stolen from the room. I use the room safe if there is one, but even those are not foolproof. I usually avoid traveling with anything of real value except for an iPad that is too heavy to lug around when sightseeing so it goes in the safe.
