So is this a common occurrence? I've switched to normal locks (not TSA), ever since I realized that TSA locks can be opened with 3D printed master keys.

On my flight back from AMS to SEA to PDX a few weeks ago, I found that my lock on my checked in luggage was missing. Now normally, when I had TSA locks if they inspected my stuff, they would leave a note in the checked in luggage. So I'm suspecting that this might not be TSA (gasp) and it could be on the AMS side. Has this happened to anyone? Shouldn't they leave a note? What happened if they placed some crazy .... like some radioactive material, then *I* get arrested stateside for stuff they put in my bag?!

I'm also upset they cut my locks, cause I bought a different lock that had a very small piece of exposed metal, which would make it harder to cut the lock... I guess they still managed to cut that in the end!!!!
