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

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


I agree entirely. Beside the point you make, luggage locks are
useless. They are toys. Any thief who has access to your bag can get
through one of those tiny locks with ease in a couple of seconds.

Yeah, but most likely they'll save those two seconds by picking a bag that
has no lock.
