At least you need a good knife to cut the nylon web handles.

The lock rattled, so after I lock it I use the elastic from an old inner tube to hold it against one of the rack bars.
Maybe I'll have to try something like that. It would be nice if they had a way to latch them all the way artound the rack. I've only had a bag fall off twice in about 15 months of daily use. One time was what happened in my post, the other time I know I didn't get it all the way on.
