They'd better not use a bolt cutter on any of my luggage!
Do they do this routinely? Or just when they suspect luggage? In that case do they document them breaking your property so you can claim back off the airlines?

This was also the case at Changi until very recently, and I believe the checks are now done down in the bowels of the airport after check-in. sniffer - dunno whether it was for drugs or explosives though.

Good looking? I must have been in Asia to long! :-)
But you are right about the defence - there was none.
