Shoutout to the guy at Def Con who cracked my luggage lock in 6 seconds
A lockpicker told me the TSA-approved combo locks I use have a flaw where you can feel the right numbers through the dial, and he popped mine in under 10 seconds while I watched. Is it worth upgrading to a real padlock and just risking the cut, or does checking a bag mean you're basically trusting strangers either way?
