If it's been opened and there is no flyer from the TSA showing that your bag

So, the OP lost some stuff from his bag. Therefore . . . someone
opened it. The airline said "tough cookies, Cookie." So how
would the situation be different with the magic lock that everyone
can open? What if someone just throws the lock away? Seems to
me that the response would be the same--no one will accept
responsibility for dealing with the situation, and you're still
out your stuff, plus the cost of the Miracle TSA Lock (but
wait! There's more! Order now and get increased security!).
