If y'all wanna know why is this stupid
Take a look at the so-called "TSA-Approved Locks"
The locks that lets TSA have a "special key" to unlock your bags to search then without cutting it open.
The same "special key" is available to buy on amazon.
🤣
It's even worse than no locks, since someone could plant drugs in your bag using the "special key", and since there's no evidence of tampering, and the bag is also locked, the blame falls on you.
Oh no you don't understand, with this legislation bad actors and foreign intelligence would not be allowed to use these back doors. So they can't do it because it's illegal. That's why it's 100% safe. I mean don't you trust the it competence of 60+ year old law makers?
OK I will stop now
