Yeah, they have been doing a lot of word-smithing.

They no longer refer to TSA-approved locks. It's pretty clear that screeners have the 'final say' on how your bag will be opened. If they don't feel like using the keys, they cut the locks.

So now TSA refers to them as 'TSA-recognized', no longer tries to blame baggage handling machines and openly warns pax: "you want to lock your bags and we want to get into them, we'll do whatever damage we want, whether or not we 'recognize' your lock. That will teach you not to lock your bags in the US the way you do in the entire rest of the world".

Not to go OT, but I also notice regular queries about meds, both on AskTSA and other sites. It's pretty clear that I am not the only one who has been challenged about meds and the way TSOs treat them at checkpoints. One of the reasons so many people ask if pill-keepers are OK or if they need copies of their prescriptions is because TSOs have been aggressively challenging pax who don't have meds in labeled prescription bottles.

"Final say".
