Multifunctional TSA002 007 Master Key Bag for Luggage Suitcase Customs TSA Lock (TSA007)

Product Information

The reason why flying with a gun is so effective is because it provides a physical barrier between your luggage and the rest of the world. If someone were to try and steal your bag, they would have to get past the gun first. This is much more difficult than simply taking a bag that is not protected.

As a side note, I tend to save various images of an interesting value and I think I saved a copy of that image like 2 weeks ago? I recently got the ok from work to ditch my cell If I’d like. I’ve been minimizing it’s use in my life since 2013. Of course some day, I may end up on the “doesn’t use a cell phone” list of pre-crime suspects. I always assumed that the keys were in the wind. The TSA would need 100% obedience from a large, diverse workforce, not to leak them a matter of days, not years, after they were issued.Knowing this will help you get over the broken bump key issue. That is you misdirect the suspicion to something else like petty vandalism or revenge etc, not an attempt at covert entry. EDITED TO ADD (9/10): Someone has published a set of CAD files so you can make your own master keys. Reminds me of a story: At a certain organization with which I was associated, they remastered a building because too many people had master keys. They had almost completed the re-mastering when one of the administrators lost his key ring, which naturally contained one of the new master keys. So much for re-mastering. I’d believe it. Just like I believe that burglars will raid someone’s fridge and will occasionally be found asleep on the sofa. So maybe, JUST MAYBE, in addition to not poking around in your bag, it could arrive at destination.

So now every suitcase is wide open. Not just mine, but all the ones belonging to innocent strangers that I fly with.Any object with a thin enough point will do to pry open the ratchet on an ordinary cable tie. My favorite is a push-pin, but the small eyeglasses screwdriver I carry works really well, also. When it comes to flying, there are a few things that you can do to help protect your luggage. One of those things is to fly with a gun. While this may seem like an odd thing to do, it is actually a very effective way to protect your belongings. But if a book, bottle of wine, whatever of minor value is missing, which happens quite frequently nowadays, I can not believe that someone is taking the risk to simply steal such items. If you make your own bumb keys they are fragile as they are made of soft metal like brass, not high strength tool steel, so they are more likely to break. Turn the dial and, with the safety pin, look for an indentation or gap in the cylinder. Leave the dial at that number.

Yeah I’d be posting that online… They’re probably just making sure you aren’t exfiltrating secrets from the country. Jenna McLaughlin of The Intercept followed up on this story with the TSA, and got this remarkable response from TSA publicist Mike England. You’re already on the “draws breath” list of pre-crime suspects (which is, all of us, if we’re not dead) Johnny: “Since we can never be 100% sure the luggage hasn’t been opened the best one can aim for is sometimes detecting whether it has.” What’s the equivalency for cell phones after the man gets its way again? Carrying your medical records on your phone with a screen saver that says “Attention! Medical Records Inside”?Our TSA keys are made out of a high-quality special alloy and are highly durable. All keys have been thoroughly tested by us and are 100% accurate. If you plan on printing these out at home or work, then just open up the files individually in your CAD software and print them out. In this example, I'm using Microsoft's free 3D Builder on Windows. Use a safety pin to locate the metal or plastic cylinder on the right side of the first dial. The flashlight and camera on your phone can help you zoom in on it.

And, as noted, any zipper closed bag can be trivially opened with a ballpoint pen then resealed anyway. I try to set up a poker face, take my bags from the belt conveyer and sincerely hope that any possible item was already removed, without any trace, before I proceed. As for zip ties, while they can sometimes be opened and reused, in practice, the TSA will not do this. They just cut them off, since zip ties and blue gloves are the two things the baggage screeners always have at the ready. Next, enter your new combination. Make sure to enter it twice, just to be sure. Once you’ve done that, release the reset button and your new combination should be set!Likewise for hotel safes. Numerous hotel staff have access to the master code. And it’s the hotel staff that you’re trying to protect your valuables from; ever seen a broken-in hotel door? Like Andrew, I don’t expect them to stop anyone at all really, but I do tend to keep them for everyday usage otherwise.
