      For anyone else who’s curious about the history I actually went and looked this up. Photos of the keys were accidentally leaked on the Travel Sentry website. This made it very easy to copy. The website says “Sensitive Information – do not post, copy or disseminate”. Clearly someone elected to do the opposite.

      Oh no you don’t understand, with this legislation bad actors and foreign intelligence would not be allowed to use these back doors. So they can’t do it because it’s illegal. That’s why it’s 100% safe. I mean don’t you trust the it competence of 60+ year old law makers?

      OK I will stop now

      Do I seriously need to put always on cameras in my luggage?

          I believe DeviantOllam recommends putting a gun in your bag (from memory a starter gun counts as a gun to TSA but doesn’t have the whole licence restrictions of an actual firearm). Because you have a gun you are allowed to lock it with an actual padlock and the TSA can’t just go through your stuff. If you put a padlock on otherwise they’ll just cut it off and you’re back to square one.

        I just use a zip tie. It keeps the bag shut and it’s obvious if they open it. Of course they could potentially replace it with an identical zip tie. You can get security seals that are serial numbered if you want to protect against that.

          You can undo and reuse a zip tie by just lifting up the flap with a small object.

          Good idea. And you could easily add a mark (maybe green permanent marker?) and they’re most likely not going to replicate it. Prep a few and carry the zip ties in your personal item or something.

          That said, zip ties seem kind of annoying since you’ll need to cut them at the destination, without being able to being a knife with you.

            I put a cheap pair of wire cutters in the front pocket of the suitcase to cut the zip tie off with.

        If your bag has an exposed zipper, then a malicious actor doesn’t need to pick your lock, they can just get through the zipper with a pen usually, and they can still zip it up after.

          I guess it could be better to not lock it at all and use some other form of tamper detection?

          Or I guess I could just travel with a pelican case so they have to defeat the lock to get in.

            Be sure to put a flare gun in it. Then you’re actually allowed/required to lock it.

                Yeah, okey. That makes sense. I would be difficult to hide the intrusion if you can’t move the zippers.

      Even worse btw, you can 3d print the tsa master keys. I have them printed, and confirmed them working.

      Tsa knows about this, and they have publicly said they dont care

      Where I am, we have “Post Office approved” locks, cam locks for your post box that can be opened with your key plus a special key that the postie has, in case they have a parcel that won’t go in the slot.

      Yes, you can get one of the special keys if you know where to look

      No, it isn’t a problem because we’re not a bunch of fucking savages 😂

        This metaphor is so bad. You expect people on the internet to act like good neighbours?
