I wouldn't waste my money with TSA-approved locks. They claim that they have a key that will open these locks, but my experience is they still continue to cut the lock even though they have the means to open it without causing damage.

I use TSA locks all the time and I've had my bags searched by them, as indicated by the stickers or papers they leave in the bag to tell you they did so. My TSA locks are never damaged - this on domestic and trans Atlantic flights. I also only fly Delta or their partners (out of convenience since they fly out of my local airport) so that could be a reason.

I agree. If they don't have the key to a specific lock or if they are in a hurry they will simply cut the TSA-approved lock anyway.
