Security Features You Want in an Anti-theft Travel Bag
The most important security feature of an anti-theft bag is a locking zipper. A locking zipper is one that stays closed by having the zipper pull stay secured to the bag with a carabiner-style hook. It takes two hands to open it keeping the hand of thieves out of your bag and your valuables and possessions secure.
Another valuable security feature is an anti-theft strap that you can detach from the bag on one end, wrap the strap through an armrest on a chair, and then reattach to the bag. This connects the bag to the chair (or another stationary item) to prevent grab-n-go thefts.
