If you're someone who travels a lot, you may familiar with the rule that in order to fly with a lock on your bag, it needs to be a specific TSA luggage lock. If it's not one of these approved locks, it gets clipped and thrown away. The problem is, this means the TSA has access to all of the stuff you're protecting! Not only that, all of these locks are opened by one of two universal keys that anyone can buy online for as cheap as about $5. So what is even the point when anyone with these can access what's in your bag? These are useless.
