Thanks for the info M3. My main concern, and thus my reason for considering the use of the Pelican Air Case is that I've heard the horror stories of soft luggage being opened by 'piercing' the zipper. And while I have no plans to pack anything other than clothes and ammo (in another locked container) in the Air Case, I would like the comfort of knowing that a thief had to resort to methods other than piercing a zipper to get in my bag.

Added - any concerns with having binos in carry-on bags?


I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
