I don't lock them to begin with. And I certainly wouldn't purchase a tsa approved lock. Regardless, I was not subject to a law requiring that the non-tsa lock I was using to have a backdoor added. Which is why this is a bad comparison all around.

    You are subject to a law requiring the lock you use to have a TSA backdoor added if you travel anywhere the TSA has jurisdiction.

    No. I'm not. I've never used that lock and I'm not required to.

    Plus, the thieves in this case we're arrested. The French government would not be. This is a terrible comparison, even more so as we move along.

    Yes, you are, you can look this up in like 12 seconds. The TSA as a whole was also not arrested. If a random worker in the French government uses the backdoor to spy on people and they're found out, I'm sure they'll be arrested. It really feels like you're just giving the analogy more strength with each comment.

    You are not required to use a tsa lock. Take that 12 seconds.
