I can only assume that the belts must have ripped them from the zipper tabs. Regardless, I made a point to brief the screeners of my findings and stressed the importance of remembering the reattach the locks. So far, I haven't seen anymore locks under the belts.
It stands to reason that there would be damage to zippers (at least). If the lock is missing and there is no visible damage to the outside of the bag, then the lock had to be cut.

Logical?
