I always know by the positioning of the zips at baggage reclaim. At least I have a TSA lock, and they did resecure it properly. ^
I've pretty much given up on TSA locks. Have had 4 of them now disabled. TSA, I assume, clamps something on the hasp and (I assume) rips it open, so that the hasp is bent. In each case I've still been able to unlock the lock with much difficulty and don't have to cut it off, but the lock is basically ruined. This has happend ex-TPA, FLL, PSP and SAN. It's always appeared to be the same tool (like needle nose pliers) that is used no matter which outstation.
