>> There are TSA-approved locks, which have an override that only TSA is supposed to have. So, you can put that lock on the outside of the bag.
HA HA HA!
Yes, there are. Have you ever seen or used them? They are the cheesiest pieces o’ s___ you’ll ever see.
And, anyway, in a situation where you have lazy TSA who don’t feel like hunting around for the key, they just CUT THEM OFF anyway.
“TSA APproved” locks are WORTHLESS. Yet another abuse perpetrated on law abiding citizens by our arrogant Homeland Security agency.
I used a “TSA lock” once and only once. On it’s first trip, the TSA cut it off and ruined my bag in the process - typical worthless government goon.
Nothing in the bag but clothes - it was just government sanctioned vandalism to attempt to prove to me, the traveler, that I am nothing but a serf to them.
