  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a pack safe brand keycard luggage lock.

  • Now, I've spoken about these TSA locks before, and my general view is that they are all equally worthless.

  • That's because the lock is on Lee A secure as its weakest element, and all of them share the same weakness.

  • They open with one of seven publicly known and readily available TSA keys just like this one.

  • We find the keyhole right on the back, and we can pop it open quickly.

  • I've said it before.

  • These locks are generally good for making sure your luggage doesn't accidentally fall open, and that's about it.

  • But we're not here to rehash that.

  • I wanted to look at this interesting mechanism that opens with a punch card.

  • We just stick it in the slot on the side and it pops right open and you'll notice.

  • If I don't use the side with those holes, it will not open it all.

  • I featured similar mechanisms in videos 5 29 and 7 92 which I'll link in the description, but these are essentially the same as a dimple lock, just with fewer pins and a little bit easier to pick.

  • So let's see what it takes to get this one open.

  • There is a small lever down in this slot, which I am going to push with a small tension tool.

  • And then I'm just going to rake across the pins with this wave rake, and just that quickly, we got it open.

  • Now it bears note that the TSA core is just Azizi to pick, and I usually don't even have to use a tension tool.

  • So it's certainly an interesting little lock, though a bit on the gimmicky side.

  • However, I'm not sure I can justify the $14 this sells for on Amazon when it provides about the same security as TSA locks costing less than a dollar.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do it any questions or comments about this, please put them below.
