The usual problem of TSA wanting to look inside without you being present to let them use the key applies. The company selling the devices has the following on its web site:

Their FAQ is found here:

They do offer a TSA-openable lock that can be used, but would you expect the TSA to properly wrap it back up if they opened it and unwrapped it for inspection?
