Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 days agoThe little red locks on luggage have a backdoor for the TSA, so yes, they literally used a backdoor to find out what people had and steal it. The reason I brought it up is because people sometimes have a hard time realizing the severity of something unless it’s grounded in the real physical world.

Red locks had nothing to do with that story. And they were caught and arrested. It is not related.

How do you think they open the bags?
slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
You don’t need a tsa approved lock to open an unlocked bag. Nor a bag that is locked in any other fashion. Which is why this is a contrived connection.

Do you unlock your bags before pushing them through the scanner? I only do it if they ask me to and that only happens directly in front of me. But sure, let’s assume bags were fully unlocked and unattended, it’s still a case of representatives of a government organization (aka the good guys) with full access to a backdoor showing that they’re not to be trusted, which is the entire point I’m trying to make.
