Just picked up this web-site - couldn't see any reference in AFF so thought I would post it here.
Interesting stats. and links to numerous crash reporting agencies.

J.A.C.D.E.C. - Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre

In fact, markis10 just posted a study based on them this morning, but there's already a bit of disputing going on!

Not on safety as such, but related! USA trip, Nov-Dec last, by VA MEL to LAX, then to FLL, and return trip 2 weeks later. When we collected our bags in MEL, both the the KORJO "TSA" type locks had gone. Nothing in bags had been disturbed. I thought these locks were openable by TSA whereupon a colour tag changed. Have others had their locks taken?

We have lost a couple of locks.Problem with the TSA is sometimes they obviously do not check if the lock is actually locked.We have had bags with the TSA note inside and the lock is loose.At other times when the lock has been opened there is no TSA card inside.It is I fear likely that some non TSA people have keys as well.

Lax once with TSA note inside and a gift pack of mrsdrron's make up missing.
However this has been in a number of different airports.Arriving in DFW from MIA the locks were attached to the cases but not locked.This was on the last trip.
