TSA LOCK
Safe Skies Locks (R) is the inventor of the TSA lock system. If your luggage is secured with a standard luggage lock and your bag needs to be opened for inspection, airport security is so determined to gain access to inspect that they will break the lock to gain access to inspect your bag.
The TSA Lock invention alleviates the issue by providing tools and knowledge to TSA baggage screeners allowing them to open, inspect and close your luggage without damaging it’s contents or the lock itself.
Here are two of the TSA Lock patents:

Both Patents teach the TSA lock system. Generally it’s a good idea to purchase the TSA lock from the patent holder, as you know you are supporting innovation. The TSA Padlock is also approved for use in the UK as well as several other countries.
You can purchase the TSA LOCK directly online.
