I took my flight my nyc using jetblue and checked in one bag. Well i had bought a luggage lock but problem is it was a safe skies lock and i never got it to work. Amazon reviews even showed many ppl say the lock didnt work. Well it does lock but i couldnt put a combination so if u put 0 0 0 0, it would unlock.


Anyways, as i arrived at my destintion, i waited for my luggage and then was relieved when i saw it. It wasn't until late at night, i then thought... hey what in the world happened to my luggage lock. Well obviously it gotten clipped. My question is does this always happen? I thought if they unlock it, they can then lock it back? So at that time when i got my luggage, was my lock in the trash already at JFK at airport? I even asked someone whats the point of a lock if they could open it. Well if they open it, dont once they clip the lock.. the lock is broken and no use? Its too late now since i left the airport yesterday but if i was still at the airport, could i have reported this?


I'm just really confused at whats the point of buying a luggage lock if it gets clipped. Is there a reason mine got clipped? Another thing that came to my mind was don't they always have to inspect checked luggage 100% just to make sure there isn't anything illegal that is put inside? Im confused at why some ppl who lock their bags don't get their locks clipped. Could it be because of the specific airport i used as JFK? Obviously i'm not going to buy another lock since it will probably be clipped again. Also, that lock i bought is TSA approved so why was my lock clipped?


Thanks
