TSA Approved Lock Master Keys Compromised

It seems TSA allowed a picture of its full set of Master Keys for TSA Approved Locks to be taken by media which was published and now information from that image has allowed an enterprising person to create a way to print keys on a 3D printer.

Might as well toss your TSA approved locks.

Thanks TSA for keeping the public less safe!

The master keys for those locks are kept under close guard – but a photograph of seven of them accompanied a Washington Post article about the TSA published in November 2014.
Anyone with a 3D printer can now unlock every single TSA-approved padlock, thanks to a security lapse by the American government agency.
