TSA Locks as an Alibi

There have been many reports of individuals, after they arrived at their destination, discovering they had inadvertently left knives, guns, and even cans of shaving cream or mid-sized bottles of (insert liquid of choice) in their checked and in some cases carry-on luggage. Items which the TSA somehow failed to detect.

Remember this the next time you are accused. Just point out that the mandatory TSA Locks are like the marijuana found in a trash can ploy. Anyone could have put it there, since the TSA Lock is an open door for how many TSA security checked but not law enforcement and uninvestigated-yet employees, luggage handlers, ramp personnel, and so on.

It doesn't even matter what country you are in at the moment. The TSA-approved locks are so ubiquitous, in so many airport stores and such, that there isn't a government, or criminal organization, in this world who doesn't already have the master key.

For that matter, your personal vehicle . . . there are only so many mechanical keys and keycodes available. you'd be surprised how many different locks your car key will open.
