“Scandal” might be too strong a word. But you’d think the TSA would have been ashamed when hackers released 3D-printer files for its master keys, which can open any any TSA-recommended luggage lock. Does the TSA feel ashamed? Not even close. – Source: Gizmodo
SO, Mr. Traveler, that fancy TSA Approved lock you picked up at the luggage store is just giving you a false sense of security. It didn’t help that the Washington Post ran an article with a clear picture of every type of key. All it took was someone with the right 3D Printer software to mock-up a sample & release the templates to the world.
Another thing to add to the list of why flying sucks…
