If your bag has an exposed zipper, then a malicious actor doesn't need to pick your lock, they can just get through the zipper with a pen usually, and they can still zip it up after.

I guess it could be better to not lock it at all and use some other form of tamper detection?
Or I guess I could just travel with a pelican case so they have to defeat the lock to get in.
Be sure to put a flare gun in it. Then you’re actually allowed/required to lock it.
That kinda leave evidence tho.
Like they can probably steal shit, but not plant drugs and frame you for it.
It's in the video how he closes it again to remove the evidence. https://youtu.be/wpIJVWXsBBI?t=93
Oh I didn't watch the video at first and I was thinking of the ones where the locking mechanism is stationary and attached to the suitcase, not a separate lock that you use.
Those stationary ones, you cannot rezip.
Yeah, okey. That makes sense. I would be difficult to hide the intrusion if you can't move the zippers.
