This article is getting saved, for the next time some idiot proposes 'lawful backdoors', which will inevitably happen.

Nervously glances at TPM and TSA approved locks.

I still love the fact that those TSA keys are all available online as 3D files and likely as metal as well

Those locks are kinda optional. And luggage is way less important than all of one's communication ; imho.

Oh absolutely, but it does do something that I'm not sure people realize: it normalizes the idea of a government agent holding the keys to all of your stuff.

I know for a fact you can get a metal set for a few dollars plus shipping.
