Yesterday I was in and out of DFW airport. I picked up a TSA lock on the floor that had fallen off of someone's bag and was still locked shut. Go figure!

It took me a couple seconds to open it with an old fashioned thin hair pin (not bobby pin).

For old fashioned hair pins, ask your great granny or ask me for one. I often have a hair do full of pins. If you can't figure out how to open the lock, do a GOOGLE for ideas or find me. Oddly hair pins made in Germany are the best for this but are very hard to find.

Thanks, I was looking for a How-To explanation ......
