Not strictly EU, but I'm rather annoyed that this archaic feature has to be included in virtually every model of suitcase in the market.

Alternatively, anyone know how to remove it without destroying the suitcase?

Cool, in that case using super glue on the lock should block that up enough that people won't be able to use it any more, and it should be much cheaper than buying anything new.

When it comes to keeping people out though, do keep in mind that no realistically usable suitcase will prevent access once someone has access to some basic tools and privacy.

If one have any kind of basic power tool, nothing can stop them. But odds are, I'd know if attempts' been made. The same cannot be said for that TSA lock.
