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?

So I mentioned in another reply that I’m in a plane more than once a month on average between nomadding and consulting.

The rest of the story is that my wife and I literally have everything we own - aside from our former home that’s now a rental and our “winter home” thats rented out 7 months a year - in 4 suitcases and two carryon book bags.

If we lost all four of our suitcases, it would be a nuisance. But we could rebuy everything for less than $1000.

The only time that our stuff was mishandled was when I made a mistake and put her portable mixer (Amazon - not an affiliate link https://a.co/d/iBQivv5) in my checked bag. I could see why X-rays thought it looked suspicious. They broke the power cord.
