Nervously glances at TPM and TSA approved locks.
I still love the fact that those TSA keys are all available online as 3D files and likely as metal as well
So, let's talk about common keys.
I know for a fact you can get a metal set for a few dollars plus shipping.
I just went and looked, set of multiple TSA master keys for sale online, numbered with which ones they are the master keys for.
Those locks are kinda optional. And luggage is way less important than all of one's communication ; imho.
Oh absolutely, but it does do something that I'm not sure people realize: it normalizes the idea of a government agent holding the keys to all of your stuff.
The bad part is when people take a luggage lock and use it for their Gym locker, or the locker at the pool. Somewhere that really REALLY shouldn't be using a weak lock with a readily available master key.
