My wife put a TSA approved luggage lock on her suitcase and it got caught on

with. Think twice about putting a lock on your bag.

could be a baggage handler thought there was something in there worth
locking, and ripped the thing off....

I cant imagine what would have gotten caught and ripped it off
otherwise...
