That's enough to make me fear for the safety of my Lowe Omni Pro travel bag. It's the one with a Pelican-type locking hard case and a fully-removable internal soft case with its own handle and shoulder strap.
They're superb for travel ease and high security of checked camera gear. But that's the point. Lowe no longer makes them, and they're coveted by every photographer who sees one. If stolen, it will be easy to determine if the thief was a photographer. The contents will be dumped and the bag taken!
Here is an old review and pic. With an eye toward the future, it might be a good idea to track down a used one of your own.
And BTW- At least on internal flights US security allows use of specific locks, for which TSA has master keys. They can be identified by the fact that they have a TSA # on them.

My plan is to start sticking my camera gear in my underwear. They'll never look for it there.
