My experience mirrors Toby's exactly. Both nationally and internationally. However, I use fairly good padlocks - 4-number combination locks and I pack a couple of extras. Never had one cut off. Although, back in the day of TSA padlocks, I did have several cut off even though TSA supposedly had a key for them.
