Folks, if you carefully read my note I did not blame the TSA guys searching the bags. They actually leave this little love letter inside the suitcase when they crash your locks with a crowbar. Seems that the news about the invention of bag scanners has never reached the Bush administration.
I actually blamed the TSO or DHS bureaucrats who came up with the stupid "
do not lock or buy a new suitacse with TSA lock rule" regulation. It does not
"make America safer" 
but has only the effect to allow the thieves at bag handling at the airports around the world to get easier to your belongings
