  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.

      I don’t lock them to begin with. And I certainly wouldn’t purchase a tsa approved lock. Regardless, I was not subject to using a lock to avoid opening, that then had a backdoor. Which is why this is a bad comparison all around.
