You guys should just do what Circus does. Forget about the big expensive luggage or the fancy locks. Just throw everything in a big thick 32 gallon plastic garbage bag with a twist tie. Believe me, no baggage handler is going to think there could anything valuable in something like that. You might, however, discover the left over wrappers from their lunches tossed in with all your stuff when you get it back at the end of your flight.

Work fine to discourage the opportunistic thief - I use zip ties.

The video is self-evident as anyone who had to get through a locked zipper should know, oh wait, this is in Costa Rica where the zippers are opened for you.

At least you would have evidence of a theft. Using the YouTube and other venues, you could create a large enough stink to get a large enough settlement, if you want to take the time.
