I never have and would never consider travelling anywhere without locking everything. Going to Bali late next week and just using tampertells on everything and intend using them on some large stripey bags on the trip home. I am taking one padlock - but that's to put on the main zipper of our suitcase when we leave it in our room of a day time. (Don't want to use up that many Tampertells) The weight of all the padlocks I would have normally used pre- Tampertells was considerable and when you have a hefty shopping list like we do I was so glad of those little light orange ties! No need to be paranoid - just be sensible, where ever you travel. Remember all this fear is based on an assumption that someone who was found guilty is innocent. Just do what will give you peace of mind then forget about it and worry more about where you'll have your first Bintang!
