TSA:
Taking Scissors Away
Thousands Standing Around (via a pilot)

The two times I've had to deal with the TSA, I have to say I'm surprised how painless the process was. I had braced myself for a long delay. Both times we asked the guy to spin the combo lock on our suitcase after he had done his check, and he complied.

But no one can expect that to happen everywhere, and I agree, requiring suitcases to be unlocked opens up all sorts of nasty scenarios. Just don't be like that dumbass in the Circuit City ad and pack your camcorder.
