Stuff missing from my bag after airport baggage check

Give the place a call, if they say they can't do anything about it just show up at the airport and start punching people in the dick.
 
I put a lock on my checked bag.

No need for some filthy foreigner to go diving through my stuff. If they need to search me they can do it at customs under my supervision.
 
I had some stuff taken out of my bags from the airport in Las Vegas.

Complained to the airlines, they gave me a voucher for an airline ticket that had to be redeemed within a year.

So yeah, I got nothing.

Damn I was pissed, they took my copy of Dino Crisis 2, those fuckin fucks.

Am I mistaken that after 9 11 you weren't allowed to put a lock on it? I think the ban got lifted a while ago though. I remember at Hawaii airport they opened everyone's bag. It was crazy

That is only in America. Anywhere else in the world you can lock your bag with no problems.

In the US you have to use "TSA approved locks" which are basically locks that they can open. If you put a normal lock on they will just cut it off with boltcutters.

So yeah.

America is more free than us, they have the freedom to search your bag and steal your shit. :icon_twis
 
That's the ABC news story I was talking about. This thread's examples of security thefts is very disturbing. They have motive, opportunity, and seemingly zero accountability unless some TV news crew puts some tracking device on the stolen iPad.

I'm thinking the moral of the story is to keep all valuables in your pockets or carry-on bag and only keep stuff not likely to be stolen in the checked bags. Also, I wouldn't like the idea of a security person touching any of my clothes or stuff.

The special TSA master keys somehow don't sound like they will reduce airport travelers' stuff getting stolen.

Maybe luggage makers should build in some sort of secure transparent polycarbonate container within the luggage so gift card guy's gift cards would be relatively safe. Also some sort of metal loop to secure electronic devices like laptops that have the standard laptop lock slot.

I'd call bitching and asking why I can't leave anything in there without their dirtbag employees stealing it. That said, I hate gift cards.

This ALL DAY! We just have to hope that more people will call when it happens to them. Don't do the guy that stole it a favor.
 
I honestly feel for you... but you shouldn't have checked that. Anything that is easy
to steal like that might as well have a big steal me sign on it.

Locks wont work either... my sister has had them cut off all the time for checked in
luggage.

Call and complain and only ever check what you have to.
 
Got some friends who work on the runway loading the bags in the plane. Yea they steal stuff.
 
They're gift cards.
They're trackable.

There are ways to make cops care, but you have to be clever, willing to exaggerate and I'm not going to get into that shit here.
 
These were the dumbasses that i worked with.

A fired baggage handler who admitted stealing pricey electronics and other reminders of home from the luggage of service members bound for overseas duty was ordered yesterday to spend 18 months in jail -- three times the state guidelines -- by a judge who called the thefts "pure greed."

Michael Harlee, 23, of Baltimore was the second former baggage handler at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport sentenced in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court in what police have described as a theft scheme targeting service members and international travelers, stealing thousands of valuables from checked luggage. More than 100 items were seized from Harlee, and prosecutors said investigators likened his home to an a electronics store.
