TSA lock

Airport-approved fastener

A TSA lock is a luggage lock that can be opened by Transportation Security Administration agents using a master key.

This allows airport security to inspect checked baggage without cutting the lock.

TSA locks are marked with a red diamond logo indicating compatibility: I always use a TSA lock when flying internationally.
