Pros
- If it’s a TSA lock, just buy a key.
Cons
- TSA locks are worthless. Keys are easy to get.

- A TSA lock can be opened by anyone, it's the same as having no lock at all.
- if security or customs needs to open your luggage, they’ll just cut the lock
- Every Indian airport worker has a tsa key.. use an external lock
