The first time I flew with a Pelican I had a heart attack when my case came down the baggage machine. All the latches were open and flapping.
I looked a little harder and saw the locks were still on the case. The pressure had sucked down the case and allowed the latches to open.

Since then when I used a Pelican I duck tapped the latches down.

If I was shipping something in a Pelican I would build a cardboard box around the case, to protect it and so nobody would know it was a Pelican rifle case.
