You are not required to use a tsa lock. Take that 12 seconds.

No. I’m not. I’ve never used that lock and I’m not required to.

Plus, the thieves in this case we’re arrested. The French government would not be. This is a terrible comparison, even more so as we move along.

I don’t lock them to begin with. And I certainly wouldn’t purchase a tsa approved lock. Regardless, I was not subject to a law requiring that the non-tsa lock I was using to have a backdoor added. Which is why this is a bad comparison all around.

You don’t need a tsa approved lock to open an unlocked bag. Nor a bag that is locked in any other fashion. Which is why this is a contrived connection.

Red locks had nothing to do with that story. And they were caught and arrested. It is not related.

First off, fuck the NY post.

Secondly, no, it IS unrelated. An issue with the TSA is not an example of a backdoor. Both are bad things, but it ends there.

A law implementing a back door would be a far more ubiquitous concern than some one off sticky fingers in Florida.

Did the tsa use a backdoor to find out what people had in order to steal it? No. How tf is this dumb take supported.
