You can cut a lamp cord with a scissors and strip it with your teeth. You can get aligator clips at Radio Shack. I am proposing connecting to the mains via lamp cord and aligator clips to get around the luggage lock, undetected. Alternatively, a pair of screw drivers could pop a luggage lock.
i’m talking about publik skool edumacated, inner city kids here.. they’re more likely to grab a glock, and knock over a store to steal one than to improvise like that.
