Lock items
Not sure why Adobe now locks items but still can be selected; it used to be great to lock an item and remain locked until unlock. This is extremely annoying to lock items but remain able to select them while selecting other items. If it isn't broken; DON'T FIX IT!

This is actually governed by a preference. You can go to:
“Preferences > General > Object Editing > Prevent Selection of Locked Objects”
and enable the setting so that you no longer are able to select Locked Objects.
Hope it helps !!!
