TSA locks are all very well if you're travelling in the States but if you fly out of the UK, security (I assume
) will just chop them off. Since that happened to me flying out of LHR I haven't bothered to replace the locks.
So intent on cropping things at LHR are they, that before Christmas, I had both Fastex buckles on my rucksack cut making it useless at my destination. This would have taken four cuts to do which is a waste of time given that a quick squeeze on each buckle opens them so much easier and quicker.
