Government entities have huge budgets for checks. Private organizations usually don't. So, they'll rely on basic information where as government will dig deep enough to make a "true" assessment. Also, Target worries about being sued. Sorry it took me 3 years to respond but I was busy, dude.

in 2012, I was with the a state National Guard unit. I was hand carrying about 40 pounds of classified 2,5" HDDs in a small pelican case for an exercise that was being conducted overseas. The HDDs were each individually wrapped in thin card board, then wrapped again in thin cardboard. We had military orders that acted as both passport and authorization to transport classified items. Along with other memorandums required by US and military regulations. We were also traveling with out intelligence officer, who is our physical security officer and authority on traveling with these types of items. I lay all of this out because of an incident we had with TSA in San Francisco. As we were returning from the exercise and passing through security, the TSA xray screeners passed the case I was carrying through the xray machine. Then passed it through again, with a look of confusion on their faces. They asked what was in the box, I informed them that these items were HDDs, showed them the documents to prove I was authorized to carry them. They asked to have the box unlocked and opened. I kindly declined, again showing them the paperwork which indicated that the box was to remain closed until we reached a secure facility. They got alil irritated, saying they were the TSA and could force the issue. I asked for a supervisor and asked my Intel Officer to intervene. The super and Intel Officer chatted, I was released with a still secured box. They should have known better, it should be apart of some yearly training

The one thing you have to realize about TSA people and other wannabe-cops is that they highly value their limited authority and any additional authority they can gather so if you challenge it they will go out of their way to enforce it.

I had less trouble flying with replica firearms (airsoft) internationally than the guy with the lockpicks.

[@pd4165]

Oh no no no no no no no. I put a bag through my X ray machine. It had replica guns in it. I knew it. Everybody knew it. But we had to call the armed response team out to escort it to the outgoing aircraft. When I say 'replica' I meant 'child's toy'. Lots of man hours lost. Lock picks are just metal - in an aircraft hold they are as harmless as a firearm. But in a cabin they're as dangerous as a firearm. The 9/11 guys only had box cutters, but the cockpit wasn't locked.

[@TheEzzran]

A TSA lock isn't intended to be more secure, and they aren't really there for the TSA, exactly. It's literally just "Here's a lock you can use if you don't want the TSA to have to cut your lock to check your luggage." So it's actually decidedly less secure, because the TSA lock's whole purpose is to let people get into it.

[@mr_tom_1_0]

The purpose of a TSA lock is to keep your bag from unzipping or unlatching accidentally during transit. That's why it's called a Transit Security Accessory

[@Shocktrue1]

the TSA shouldn't be opening your luggage, PERIOD. that's why they have checkpoints. it should be handled before the luggage ever leaves your sight, and once its out of your sight, or should remain closed until it gets back to you. a group of people that has zero interest in policing its own members and following its own policies across the board shouldn't're trusted or allowed to rummage through someone's belongings without them being present.

[@0Clewi0]

What really made me angry once is that they did broke a TSA lock once when we went to the US (and it was there where they opened it because they were nice enough to put a flier inside)

[@lauratimmel3402]

The only time I flew with a lock on my luggage, it was gone by the time I arrived. It was a cheap TSA lock, but they just cut it off anyway (or removed it and forgot to put it back on?) for the pleasure of rifling through my clothes and toiletries. I haven't bothered with a lock since then.

[@gcdrummer02]

If the goverments wants to open luggage, they can use a bolt cutter. At the end of day, it is just a luggage. All you can ask for is a temper evident system. If an agent thinks he would like to get in, he gets in anyway. Or the luggage gets "lost in transit". What we don´t want is, that the agent or airport personal add items - even temporary - to our personal belongings, which then might get found by a playful dog and his not so playful master.

Add gun parts, like a rifle receiver. If they break in they are in violation of federal law pertaining to firearms. (=

Believe me, TSA locks work for that, once I went to the us, we got a TSA lock and in the way back I don't get how they actually try to open it but the lock was resealed on the side with a black paste (dry at the moment we got our luggage) and a note inside (because we really needed confirmation that they opened it ¬¬)

The manufacturing industry will jump on anything they can to bring controls in on 3D printing. Don't waste chances trying to open locks that the alternative is to cut them off anyway.

[@gerowen]

This is good information. Next time I need to buy a lock I'll keep things like this in mind. I only flew with firearms, as a civilian anyway, one time out of SEATAC airport. There was an overtly polite man with an Australian accent who took me to the side and had me open everything for him so he could make sure it was all packed correctly; he put a tag on it after I locked it back up and then I went on my way. That being said, I haven't flown since leaving the military. Too much hassle unless it's for work and you just absolutely have to be there quick. When I drove back home to Kentucky I made it from Fort Lewis to eastern Kentucky in 4 days and I drove my own car with as much as I wanted to pack inside of it. Not always, but most of the time, even if I was in military uniform with my ID and orders to go somewhere I would have to stop and take off my boots and everything. And carrying classified material in a double locked box through a civilian airport, and telling them it can't be x-rayed, even with proper documentation, sure raised some eyebrows and caused the whole line to pause for a moment. You can tell that, generally speaking, the TSA agents mean well, but aren't especially well trained to handle anything except making sure John and Jane Doe don't have guns and explosives in their carry-on. Even their training is inconsistent. I've been to some airports where, if you had a bottle of some drink, they'd dip a detector strip in it to make sure it wasn't dangerous, and I've been to other airports where they just wave you on through.

[@77gravity]

3d printing is just a manufacturing process, if it didn't exist people would be milling keys and blanks the "old way". And I'm sure some people do anyway. Modern CNC machines are cheap, accurate, and will give a better result than a 3d printer, AND with better accuracy/resolution, and not plastic.

Not too long ago I decided to padlock a box where I store my prescribed medicines to keep my toddler safe. I decided to buy a 3 digit combo lock. At the store shelf there were two identical small combo locks but for some strange reason, the TSA version was more expensive. So we are being charged more to allow others to scavenge through our things. I guess the lock makers fool us by making us think it's safer. It is safer in a sense to help the tsa but shouldn't is cost less to help the tsa to do their thing.

[@jamescooley8312]

There's no approval that they need to produce TSA locks as they said in the video. They're told the bitting and sometimes are given the keys (except for the 006.) There is nothing they need to pay extra for, and the pins and springs need to be put in just the same, so that costs nothing extra from a manufacturing standpoint. The only thing that would cost extra would be the red diamond or whichever symbol they add.

[@danpowell806]

Both have the Victorinox shield-cross logo (like Swiss Army knives) on the lock in addition to the TSA diamond logo. Marked TSA003 - the keyway looks like a V. It is pin-tumbler.

The new key will physically fit in the old lock, but will not unlock it (even if I try partial-insertions).

[@pd4165]

Years late...and from a European perspective..... I used to be a baggage handler. A specialist one. I had an X ray machine at my disposal. We had carte blanche to open suspect cases. If we wanted to open a case...it was going to be opened, destructively if needs be. Expensive lock? Bolt cutters. Tiddly lock? Screwdriver. Sometimes it's best to play a bluff - if you aren't carrying anything that needs insurance then use duct tape rather than a lock. We had tape. We are also human and would do our best to secure luggage after the fact. But we didn't have padlocks. The main problem with baggage was missing labels - with no label we don't know what plane to put it on. Check in staff are the lowest of the low - they are minimum wage and don't much care where they stick labels - often where they'd be ripped off by the mechanised distribution system. So write your phone number and flight number/destination on the outside of your bag! With a sharpie on brown furniture tape. What happens if your bag misses your flight? Bad shit. It's an orphan. It's LOW priority. And be discrete. Genuine Louis Vuiton? It gets special treatment - from the proletariat. Ooops! It's fallen under my wheels, where there is no camera to see it. Be relatable, not flashy. Best lock? One that can withstand a sneaky (low level) attack but isn't so expensive that it attracts attention. Same goes for bags. And try not to make it look like a bomb - wires (headphones) and phones can be mistaken for trigger devices - keep them well separated. Once I had a bag X rayed and it was a bomb. I got into my vehicle and drove to the perimeter fence on the other side of the airport. What it really was was a block of cheese (looks like C4), a phone and earphones. The airport was closed for 3 hours. Don't be a dick - blend in. I'm not saying 'bend over to take it up your dark hole' - but discretion is better than fighting a lost cause (and missing your flight). You're dealing with government lackeys, and they're arsewipes.

[@danielrhouck]

Honestly, the TSA-approved lock isn't even the most vulnerable point on my luggage. My suitcase is *flimsy*. I don't put anything valuable in there. When I do have valuable stuff, it's usually digital, and I have good encryption, passwords, and 2FA as appropriate.

[@pd4165]

Good point, well made. Airport staff would like your cash or easily transferable goods - it's a low tech scenario.

[@TomNardi]

Just to be clear, TSA003 has been tested and works for all the people who've printed it (though admittedly, not many). Ars Technica even did a video/article on printing and using a TSA003 key. In fact, I contacted the author of that article and he helped nail down some of of the specifics of the key that I later merged into the repo. Which brings me to something I would like to comment on about this presentation, actually. There's a lot of talk here about the research "us", "we", and "the community" has or is doing; and while I don't doubt there are people out there experimenting and maybe even finding new things out, I'd like to make it clear as somebody involved with the actual refinement of these models that on the whole that info has never came back to us or been incorporated into the project. Johnny Xmas did do the leg work on finding the proper dimensions on some of the keys, but outside of that there's been very little info exchange with the people who've been using these things. You mention people are still working on refining 007, but who are they? We've closed all the issues/PRs people have put in for 007, and to the best of our knowledge it's one of the keys that's "in the bag" so to speak. If there are people out there with issues with 007, much less improvements, we'd certainly love to hear them. I don't want to sound like "that dude", and believe me when I say that exposure for the project is certainly appreciated. But this talk makes it sound like some big distributed effort when in reality it's basically just been a couple of us doing trial and error. I'd love to see any progress or research done by others get folded into the project, especially as you say for some of the more esoteric keys, but it just hasn't been happening as far as I can tell.

[@DeviantOllam]

I just played with one of those TSA locks, for the first time. I must laugh. It took seconds for a complete beginner to pick it open. A beginner who had never attempted a wafer lock before. But I must admit, it took just over a minute to decode it. My first attempt at decoding a combination locks of this type. There is not a luggage handler at any airport in the world that can not defeat those locks very quickly. The TSA and those stupid locks are part of why I never visit the States any more. The TSA uniformed people are bumbling clumsy and startlingly unprofessional. i think it would be easy to get around them if one is determined and reasonably clever. The TSA guards and the baggage handlers are two significant weak points in airport security. You get what you pay for. The TSA pays shit and tends to recruit people who fit the pay. There are TSA guards who could not work for any private security company because they can't pass a superficial background check, but they can work for the TSA. There are some very good people working for the TSA but they are outnumbered by the questionable ones.

[@carmp3fan]

Have you found luggage with the TSA006 to mess with since this video? I’m pretty sure I have one or two of these that I don’t want.

[@mcb187]

I had a TSA lock at one point, they just left it on my bag, key still in it... might still have it somewhere lol

[@JreUK]

Hey deviant, do u happen to know when the 2020 shakacon is? And will you be there?

[@robertdole5391]

Do Pelican Cases use the TSA006 key

[@richw.6296]

I have vintage, non TSA luggage from Japan that I use when transporting firearms. That way, if TSA wants to get in, they have to come get me. They aren’t supposed to open your luggage without your presence when there is a firearm present.

[@mr_tom_1_0]

Wish this video had the slides bigger and the handsome gentlemen smaller.

[@giovannirevilla2638]

Fingerprints lock pad?

[@deadso]

Bit late on the subject but; do these keys leave marks, ie. can an investigator/detective see that the lock was picked instead of the right key being used?

[@SlayerO013]

I've never used an actual key to open my 007's but I can see no marks in the tiny keyway from picking and I've used many different things to get in. The Master can be opened with a high security wooden toothpick, for example.

[@jeremiahseitz9842]

That's the point: they ARE the correct keys, so it wouldn't fail an integrity test, even with an SEM.

[@BernardBolduc]

Late to the party, I didn't see this video before. But just to clarify, I printed my key in the video with cheap PLA.

[@mattmchenry6835]

I have some cheap 006 padlocks now. I bought them in 2 separate purchases and they were keyed alike lol

easiest locks to pick - #greatvideoSir

[@marktownsend2384]

Only time I think I saw airport security people confused about anything in my luggage was back in 06 or 07. I had one of those little flash-memory walkman things from Sony in my carry-on, clipped to a pocket. I think it was a NW-405. I was going through Buffalo, flying down to Newark. They X-Rayed my bag, then again, then they got out the explosives swabbing gear and kept going through stuff. They seemed really confused about the whole thing. I don't know, maybe the little LiPo in there looked like a blasting cap or something. Nice people though.

[@ems_nightcreature8209]

Hello, what abloy locks fit the pelican cases? Thanks!

[@DeviantOllam]

PL321 locks are very small and fit easily. PL330 are the largest and strongest ones that can still fit through the hasps of a Pelican case.

[@ems_nightcreature8209]

@@DeviantOllam Thank you for the fast reply! I have been enjoying your videos, they should come in handy at our small VFD.

26:10, the guy realizes he doesn't have a question, just wanted to tell a story too.

[@jerrywelch1870]

great info video

[@PelDaddy]

Great info, but we ARE talking about luggage locks. Luggage you willingly hand to another entity for hours on end. I kind of always expected someone was going through my luggage. What do I use? I use ZipTies on my zippers. It is generally obvious if someone opened it (I cut the ZipTies with flush side cutters so it is unlikely, though not impossible for someone to get into them without my knowledge. I have many times found TSA "We opened your luggage for security" pamphlets in my luggage. I doubt it had much to do with what was inside (maybe a tripod?). If you want privacy you cannot late your luggage leave your control, otherwise, FUGETABOUTIT!

[@AdamRapier]

TSA006 is a dimple lock along with ABUS being a high end lock manufacture in Europe even their pad locks are difficult to get into. Be interesting to hear if someone has been able to get into them now.

[@FunkOsax]

Check out The Lock Picking Lawyer on KZbin. He gets in to ABUS pretty quickly

[@Tunkkis]

The age of this clip is begining to show. 3D printed guns, and 3D printing technology in general, have been becoming more and more viable over the years. If you are interested in the least in 3D printing guns, is strongly suggest you check out the work of Deterrence Dispensed and Jeff Rodriguez. Very interesting stuff. Live free or die!

[@justaguy427]

LOL..... Those locks aren't even touched by TSA Officers. You insert a pen into the zipper track, pull luggage lid open, conduct search. Cycle zipper tabs to re-link zippers.. Done deal.. In the event the luggage doesn't have zippers, most Officers can open them by ear and sight because they are terrible lock designs. But if needed.. keys are available but as a last resort.. The highest ranking TSA employee at each airport is the FSD. Federal Security Director. My favorite is hearing how so many people appear to be experts on an agency they have never worked for. Trust me.. I know :)

[@DeviantOllam]

Not every airport has an FSD. ;-)

[@Catcrumbs]

12:12 I suppose you will be surprised to learn that there are many places where it is not legal for the general public to manufacture their own guns. In those places, 3D printing has the potential to serve as a means of obtaining guns with a relatively low barrier to entry for those who would otherwise not be able to obtain any.

[@tylisirn]

It may not be legal, but illegal doesn't make it difficult. All you need is $20 worth of plumbing supplies and a hacksaw to manufacture a gun that probably won't explode in your hand when you fire it and that you can fire more than once. Versus $300+ 3D printer... And as someone who owns a 3D printer, I can say that the 3D printed one will definitely not be easier to make.

[@GG-nv8gt]

TSA- if you have a zippered case they can gently wiggle, pull apart the zippered section, open it. When finished use the zipper to close it.

[@pd4165]

Zipper = biro into the zipper.

[@dikstertrikster9668]

I realize this is an old video, but i just found it and decided to share this. i recently flew United out of O hare and was in line for boarding and looked out the huge window onto a flat roof and spotted something strange. the roof top was littered with cut padlocks. the only access to this area is by United personnel.

[@LiEnby]

Cut them and throw it out the window?

[@moth.monster]

The government should not always be trusted. If a bad person gets into the government, the government can do bad things. Simple as that. And all a bad person needs to get into government is good social skills or a fake resume.

[@pd4165]

SO many ways this is naive BS 1) Pay the government enough so they have the facility to employ honest people. 2) Stop viewing the government as an entity rather than a bunch of individuals. 3) Stop expecting 'the government' to be better than the people down the street. Only your family and friends care about you - and not many of those.

[@snbeast9545]

That sticker on his MacBook, tho. That's some clever shit there.

[@rachelf6745]

TSA-06 kinda looks like my old apartment bldg key, at least in the security measures the door to my suite was a shitty kwikset i think, but the key to the bldg was super secure

guys, can you tell me what model abus luggage lock i want... that has the 006 pattern?

[@faradaysage15]

Ask JohnnyXmas, it's not cheap. They come mainly on briefcases

[@eddiefoy3701]

Putting a lock on your luggage is like putting a lock on a paper bag.

[@DeviantOllam]

do you fly with all of your possessions in a paper bag? Because I'm pretty sure airlines won't accept a paper bag as checked luggage. my checked luggage consists of heavy duty road transport cases. All hard-sided, as is required under the law when flying with firearms.

[@alwayslive7460]

show us what the '03 lock looks like...!

[@mclaine33]

Pretty dumb to not have those files encrypted on the server.

[@JessHull]

use a pelican with padlocks that have really beefy shackle guards

[@pebkacwtf]

Jess Hull then sometimes they will pull the pins out of the hinge, or if there's no firearm in it they will cut the lock

[@pteppig]

@@pebkacwtf add an unloaded starter pistol or flare gun. Regulations force them to contact you to open it.

Tech hasnt changed, but JohnnyXmas's video is newer/better/updated etc., i'd seen him give it in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Chuck Schumer (D)-umbass was saying terrorists (apparently AFTER the TSA screening) can use these keys to put bombs in your luggage...lmmfao retarded democrats...if they get a bomb past the TSA, THEY DONT NEED TO PUT IT IN *YOUR* LUGGAGE, YOU IDIOT POLITICIAN ASSHAT
