Kind of like the TSA approved locks for your baggage. Those are very secure and can be opened only by the government officials, last I heard. The only downside is that those TSA master keys might become available to the third party somehow, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, since we can always trust the government to keep such information secure.

Not "might become available", they already are - https://github.com/Xyl2k/TSA-Travel-Sentry-master-keys

Someone posted a photo of master keys and Internet was, as usual, the Internet.

Call me crazy, but I think that may have been the joke.

No lock is secure, ever.
