I'm not sure if it tells us anything about what the TSA knows about security. It was already pretty apparent they didn't know much there. Even just looking at the locks, the master keys would have been pretty easy to reverse engineer from the locks themselves, which of course are sold all over the place.

What's interesting to me is that this shows they don't even know about pretend security. Releasing these pictures doesn't impact real security much, but it does impact the impression of security they try to give to the average idiot.

Have you read the leaked TSA SOP document?

They don't know much.
