Many of us are going to be traveling one way or another this summer. Some of use might even use a passport (not me for a change). This article describes some things that might come in handy while traveling that you might not think about taking.

I like the split key ring idea. Especially if you're going through customs. If you have a padlock on your bag, customs will cut it off to search your bag. A split key ring is a little more disposable than a padlock, so it won't matter if they cut it off.
From the article said:
If you're taking a few bags and want some added security, you might consider taking split key rings instead of padlocks. Padlocks may add a lot of security, but they're heavy and cumbersome. If a thief really wants to get into your bag, a master padlock is not only pretty easy to cut through but it's also easy to crack. The lock really serves more as a heavy deterrent. Using a split key ring as a bag lock isn't as secure, but it takes time to remove and will ward off thieves who are just looking to break in, grab something, and run.
