Flying with Brompton PSA

I’ve flown with bikes a fair amount. About 90% of the time TSA will open and inspect and often not replace the packaging properly. All of my bikes that I have flown with have some damage (scratches, dings, etc) from TSA.

I did this once and the luggage handlers bent the metal frame that holds the mudguards. I think I could have prevented this by putting some padding between the wheels and the mudguard and keeping the tires inflated
