Padlocks don&#x27;t prevent this at all. Take a zippered bag (<i>any</i> zippered bag). Jab a ballpoint pen between the zippers, then easily pull them apart with your hands. To re-zip, take the locked-together pair of zips and slide them back and forth from one side of the bag to the other.<p>This requires no more effort or skill than opening an un-&quot;locked&quot; bag.
