travel lock

Suitcase security device

A travel lock is a small, portable lock designed for securing luggage, bags, or lockers while traveling.

Many feature TSA-approved designs that allow security agents to open them with a master key without cutting the lock: I put a travel lock on my checked bag.

The term also applies to a setting on devices like electric shavers or hair dryers that prevents accidental activation during transport.
