I am heading to the US in September, travelling with a Samsonite TSA approved hardside suitcase. I've heard that when searched the locks are often cut off, but does anyone know what they do with a hardside case locked with its inbuilt combination lock? I've heard that zipped cases can have the zips forced, but you wouldn't be able to do that with mine. Or does anyone have any experience travelling to the US with a hardside?
The other poster is right. There's a master "key" that lets them into the suitcase. I don't think you have much to worry about, though. I've never had my locks pried when flying into the US (as recently as a couple of months ago). There's nothing to worry about with your suitcase if they need to get inside.

Toyota RAV4 trailer hitch too low. How can I get more height?
I have an '06 RAV4 and I recently installed a Hidden Hitch trailer hitch so that I could use a 20x48" cargo carrier for our summer vacation. But the cargo carrier scrapes on the ground when backing out of our driveway or pulling into parking lots where there is a transition from level ground to an incline. Also, I picked up a bike rack, and this too scrapes on the ground, although not as bad as the cargo carrier. I'd say the carrier has only about 6" clearance when loaded with four beach chairs and a canvas duffel bag loaded with some beach blankets, shoes, etc. (i.e. a light load).
Is there an adapter I could use to get more height out of the trailer hitch receiver? I've seen these 4" hi-low drops that look like they'd do the job but the description of their use doesn't sound like what I need.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Get a raised draw bar. I saw some the other day at Walmart.
