the story behind how the TSA managed to leak all seven of the master keys for TSA locks practically before they started rolling out the locks is kind of hilarious honestly

a news website was doing an article on it, asked either the TSA or a lock manufacturer that was contracted with them or something like that for photos to use with the article... and they got sent a high-resolution image of all seven keys, and no one thought "wait you can just copy the keys with this image"

I don't know when it happened exactly but it was not very long after the requirement that people use TSA locks on luggage and ever since, the locks are practically as useful as a zip tie--holds your luggage closed while it's getting bumped around on the conveyor belts, but literally anyone can get into it with basically no effort
