No one but you has suggested any such thing, least of all me. There has been no suggestion of the TSA breaking into locked cases "willy nilly." In fact, I stated the exact opposite. Reading comprehension is key.

I wouldn't call it a false sense of security. If someone is going to break into your suitcase between your departure and arrival points, they're not going to have a lot of time to do that. They're going to want to be quick and discreet. Trying to break through a cable lock will likely not be quick and discreet.
