TSA customs locks are generally used for boxes used abroad. The customs will open your suitcase for inspection. Without the TSA customs lock, the customs can't open the suitcase with the general TSA customs lock, so the suitcase will be forced to pry open the lock on your suitcase by the customs inspector.

Generally, customs inspectors have an unlocking key of TSA in their hands, so they should be very careful to ensure safety when opening luggage inspection, and re-lock luggage after inspection.

② Each travel lock has a password, so that TSA or other inspectors can know what tools to use to unlock it.

③ Travel safety locks can be opened and checked at the inspection centers of all American airports and many other international airports, and then locked again after the inspection. (Sometimes an envelope will be put in the suitcase to tell you that the luggage has been opened and checked, which is a unique intimate service for TSA lock users. )
