How does the TSA inspector unlock it without the combination?

It was the first time I used it (new) so not sure but it was not on my bag when I got to my destination

On the bottom of the lock, is a key hole for a "master key" that TSA has available!

They have a special key that opens it. I used this extensively while traveling in Europe this summer, and it worked perfectly.

The TSA has a master key. An internet search turned up: "Luggage locks approved by the TSA have a universal master key that will open the locks. Only the TSA have a copy of this master key. " from http://www.samsoniteaustralia.com/tsa-lock-instructions/

They have a master key to unlock "TSA approved locks" per their website. If you use a lock that is not TSA approved, they will cut off your lock.

There is a key hole on the back side. TSA can access it with a key then lock back up after. Airline employees shouldn't have a copy of this key.

I believe there is a "key hole" that TSA has a master key for. If not then there must be a "master combination" that will open all of these. If you did not read my review of this product. I had used similar type locks, however I could not make this brand work, no how, no way.

Julian, I don't think this would get a second look. I have carried a Swiss Tech Products ST66676 Utili-Key Multi-Tool, 6-In-1, Stainless Steel for several years, and have never been questioned. Check it out. I've given many as gifts, and no one has been stopped by TSA yet.

You can pad lock as has area provided with hole to place lock. as far as the TSA I don't know their requirements.

Don't remember if it comes with lock, however, you will need to use something TSA can open if you lock it. The zippers have holes to accomidate a small lock, but I have never locked it and have made two round trips without any problems.

They claim 'airline approved'. It has 2 separate locations for locks, but hard to know without asking the TSA directly.

I don't think so! The screws that hold the tool together are the tamper resistant type.They can be defeated, but I don't think you want to.Even if you removed the blade, there is no guaranty the TSA would let you take through anyway.I had to leave a Multi-Tool in Miami, and once was enough.

Because it locks, it's not compliant. http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/03/tsa-prohibited-items-list-changing_5.html

Yes, the TSA, only states locked hard box. This exceeds the TSA requirement.

I don't know about changing the combination but you can use only the key to lock and open the safe. The key lock only seems easy and secure enough.

No you don't. The safe comes preset with a combination and can not be changed

For firearms the TSA should NOT be able to open them. When you declare the firearm the ticket agent should ensure that is it clear (rarely do they know how), and you should have a declaration to sign and place into the case. As a rule in Detroit, I was then asked to lock the case (I use two master padlocks, not the supplied locks built into the case). The case is then taken to TSA who might X-ray it, and for sure will wipe it to check for explosives. Recently, the TSA personnel have not looked inside my case. However, by TSA regulations the locks on a gun case should not be the variety that can be opened by the master key the TSA uses. I believe this to be a demonstration that the TSA trusts its employees no further than it trusts us.

I Don't Know. The Lock Fell off my bag before I made it to security at the airport. I Can'tRecommed ..

Yes. There are 2 reinforced "holes" for locking. There are two others that could also have locks put through them. I just travelled and TSA was happy with just the two locks.

You use a code to get in and out. As an emergency backup there is a key (the round ones) that can be used under a panel to be used if you forget the combo.

you need either a fingerprint or combination code to open it. the physical key is used to completely lock the safe, so neither of those 2 methods can be used, but it cannot be used by itself to open the safe

It's a spring loaded mechanism. Sometimes, you have to use a blunt object to depress the unlocking protocols, which cannot be done using your finger. If you have a chopstick, or something hard, that will do the job.
