T.S.A. Luggage Lock

The T.S.A. approved luggage locks can be taken apart to make keys for. Once a key is made for one, it can work on all T.S.A. locks of its type. Blank keys can be purchased for the T.S.A. 002 luggage lock at local hardware stores. Whats shown in the video is a key I cut for the lock by taking another T.S.A. 002 apart, and then just a key blank. Both keys work equally well. Some T.S.A. locks use a more restrictive key type, like the T.S.A. 003, where blanks can not be purchased. For locks where the blanks could not be purchased someone would need to make the key from either sheet metal, or in the case of the 003, a small metal rod. Some luggage locks allow you to tell if they have been opened by a t.s.a. key. They can be bypassed in other ways, likely within 20 or 30 seconds. Luggage locks are nearly all insecure, but T.S.A. approved ones are even more so. A T.S.A. lock probably should only be used for airport travel. After leaving the airport a different luggage lock should be used for better security against surreptitious entry.

What about a TSA 006 lock?

Thanks for the video, don't let the Youtube morons get to you. My wife has never picked a lock until the TSA 003 which she picked with a metal rod in less than 5 minutes with almost no coaching.

I find the crackeling soothing

[dannysauer]

Or you could just buy one of the TSA-approved locks that comes with a key.
