A TSA-compliant padlock integrates a finder tag compatible with Apple's Find My network. It's bulkier than average padlocks, weighing about 3.5 ounces, which increases resistance to physical attacks. The padlock employs a 3-digit combination lock and wire loop for basic security. The finder tag allows tracking similar to AirTags but lacks precision finding. Although TSA-compliant padlocks are easy to bypass, they provide a deterrent against opportunistic theft, ensuring luggage remains more secure than without any lock.
The SmartLock is quite big and bulky as travel padlocks go — it weighs about 3.5 ounces — but it combines two functions in one. And that bulkiness gives the padlock a decent level of resistance to physical attack. You're not going to break this with your hands or a small multitool.
Security is offered by a 3-digit combination lock and a wire loop. Like I said, not great, but good enough to deter opportunist thieves looking for an easy pick.
The finder module is compatible with Apple's Find My network and has the same limitations as all other third-party trackers — basically, you get everything that an AirTag offers except for precision finding.
TSA-compliant travel padlocks offer the most basic level of security. I can open any travel padlock in seconds using low-skill attacks, and the internet is rife with keys that will do the job.
