Forget the zipper, get the big picture
Regarding “An Open and Shut Suitcase? Hardly” (Travel Q&A;, June 27): A $24.48 luggage repair claim? A missing zipper tab? Does life owe you a favor or what?
These are normal problems in the life of a traveler, and someone has to pay. Accept the small price for getting out there and living a full life.
It’s a very small price to accept for the high level of security we’ve demanded and are getting. Transportation Security Administration workers are capable of handling the highest pressures and on-time performance.
Come on, buy a bag that’s a minimum investment but sturdy, and go.
The normal wear and tear will be my contribution to the security cause.
