This was always a dumb idea. No different than a “master” TSA key. All it does is create a single point of failure.

Do you actually have anything in your checked bag that you care if it gets stolen?

All of the stuff I care about is in my carry on. Who wants to steal someone else’s clothes that probably won’t fit?

You're not all people.

This theft happens, that's the cut-and-dry of it.

I’m on planes more than once a month (nomadding+consulting). I work with people who travel 80% of the time.

Stealing luggage is so rare it’s meaningless. If you are really worried about your luggage, the easiest way to steal someone’s luggage is at baggage claim and just knock the lock off after they leave the airport.

There isn’t a ring of thieves at the airport stealing your clothes.

Lost luggage and delayed luggage is a bigger concern.
