What Is a TSA Lock?
A TSA lock is a specially designed luggage lock that can be opened by TSA agents at airports using a universal master key. 🗝️ This means they can inspect your bag without breaking your lock—or worse, damaging your luggage.
If you lock your suitcase with a standard lock, TSA agents are legally allowed to cut it off if they need to inspect your bag. That’s why having a TSA-approved lock is not just smart—it’s a travel necessity. ✅
