Sorry to add information that may not agree with what you've previously been told, but if those are TSA locks they are likely no go. As I understand it, you should have non-TSA and non-combination locks. You will take the bag from the ticket counter to the special TSA inspection area and show them the contents before locking, then you toss in the declaration form and lock it up. Only you will maintain a key and that is the important part here...they don't want anyone (including TSA agents) to have access to the contents after it has passed inspection. This is the way I've been instructed and I spend a lot of time in airports, so you may want to verify.
Thanks for posting that. It needs to be checked to make sure. You may save someone one more reason to get held up at check in.
