My bags have been inspected. The duffle works great.....but make sure there is plenty of extra room in your duffle. TSA is good at finding and inspecting items, but if you packed everything too tight they can't figure out how to get it all back in the bag. I have picked up my bag from the "special" baggage claim with the zipper wide open and some of my stuff taped to the duffle. Fortunately, I haven't had anything lost, stolen or confiscated. If you have extra room, they don't have a problem. It seems that the things they were interested in, but did allow was the Jet Boil and Steri Pen. They did not seem to have a problem with a bottle of bourbon or a bottle of wine.
