Here is a simple hint: CARRY ON. If you have breakable things, carry them on. Keep them in your hands, and keep them safe - OR package them seperately for shipping home in their own box, padded as much as you can manage. Go to a UPS store of whatever and get them to pack it for shipping.
Wrapping stuff in shirts and hoping it makes it home ain't gonna do the deal.

Total bullshit. Absolute, total bullshit.
It's almost as much of a joke as their "Use locks that the TSA can open"
Where's your defense when you have shit slipped into your bag?
I do not buy into panic-mongering, but if the situation arose that you had something placed into your bag and you made no attempts to secure it, your defense goes out the window.
Incidently, the airport official I spoke to said the TSA should replace any zipties or locks that they break.
