    Awesome review. I own two of the traditional Pelican cases (one for storage, one for travel).

    How much do you know about the TSA part of the lock? Does the TSA "key" have any special qualities that make it difficult to duplicate? If the key is simple and replicable, then it isn't much good if there are tons of them out there. That's always been my worry with TSA locks.

    Lol, yes just a bit.

    I don't think TSA's masters are available, but that doesn't really matter as there are easy ways to open most locks (these included) regardless. Luggage locks are a deterrent to casual/opportunistic pilfering, not to a determined thief. For the Progear locks, I'd bet (though I won't be trying it) that a sturdy screwdriver could break the hasp.
