I understood that DHS (or maybe it was TSA) now requires us to have at least two locks securing our airplanes. Inspectors will typically require a door lock and keyed ignition switch.
I also have toggle switches for the ignitions on my Legacy. Has anyone else
heard of a requirement to have two locks? I sort of remember that New Jersey
passed a law like that a few years ago, but I haven't heard anything else.
However, I bought a throttle lock in case I happened to park somewhere that
seemed like it might need an extra lock. Here's the one I bought from
Aircraft Spruce:

It's relatively light weight and certainly cheap enough. It is more secure
than the standard keyed ignition switch, but I think just about any lock is
good enough.
Best,
