The integrity of more than 300 million travel locks has been compromised after 3D printing files for a range of master keys were posted online.

In other words, if you have a luggage lock with a keyhole for the authorities to use (saving them from smashing open your padlock), people can now print their own keys to open your bags.

A number of amateur 3D printers have printed the skeleton keys using the blueprints, and posted photos of their successful attempts at opening Travel Sentry locks on social media.

And the nightmares continue .... (winkers)
