About TSA Lock
What is a TSA lock?
Since January 2003, Transport Security Administration has conducted strict screening of all checked baggage at 452 airports across the United States.
To solve the unfortunate problem of travelers ' suitcases being damaged in the process, the TSA Lock and its standard system were created.
Under this system implementation, customs officers use customs keys to perform baggage checks on demand, while travelers continue to open the luggage using passwords, user keys, fingerprints, Bluetooth and other daily operations.

How do I know if my suitcase has been opened and checked ?
TSA's checking standard requires them to put a checking notice in the inspected suitcase after they have checked it.
What does the number on the lock stand for? Such as TSA001, TSA002, TSA003 ..... .TSA008?
That is TSA cylinder number, which corresponds to the custom keys kept by the custom officer. It helps TSA, CATSA and other security agencies to identify which custom key should be used to unlock the baggage.
