A quick suggestion:

   if -1 not in :
       # etc.

THIS SUGGESTIION WAS WRONG (error in boolean logic - what a shame!)

perhaps you like the the less nice 

   
   if [line.find(x) for x in 
         ["KeC 923","ZEF 156","pBX 88347","FZX 17255"]] != [-1]*4
 ?

    things = ["KeC 923","ZEF 156","pBX 88347","FZX 17255"]
    if sum([line.find(thing) for thing in things]) != -len(things)

sum is a built-in function since Python 2.3

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm in a hurry
