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.
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.
I just went and looked, set of multiple TSA master keys for sale online, numbered with which ones they are the master keys for.
