Why would you put anything of real value in a checked bag? If you travel at all you should know better. I'd count myself lucky you have an ipad at all, wrapped or unwrapped.

Well certainly when we let them in the country to become citizens for certain.
Yeah, Ted Kaczynski and Timothy Mcveigh do not create a pattern though, and never took down planes.
How many White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Christian, Jewish, Hindus, or Buddhists have blown up a plane or taken it hostage at any point in time pre 9-11 or since? How many 12 year old white kids named Josh from Lincoln Nebraska or 72 year old black ladies from Atlanta Georgia have taken out an aircraft? Maybe a body cavity search is in order, huh?
Now, how many Islamic foreigners here on visa have?
How many American planes were taken down by them prior to 9-11 of 2001?
The overreaction is absurd, and almost as absurd as the public is for defending it as if it were a need in lieu of having a say so in who comes into this country in the first place, and in refusing entry to those who are from countries who buy into the Islamic garbage in the first place.
Our Gestapo airport security is but one example of how quickly Americans will accept their fate or even defend it when it's presented as a means of keeping them safe, the same can be said for guns in the Northeast and those who claim "it's for our own good and public safety." Cameras everywhere you look and our own government spying on its own citizens without warrants, and ALL for our own good and safety.
How does that quote go?
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither."

OP, never come to the OT seeking advice. Everyone here is a perfect E badass that never makes mistakes, and asking for advice is so beta. 
In all seriousness, contact the airline. I'm sure you have your receipt showing you purchased it on your trip. I hate to say it, but you'll probably have to be an a-hole about it, it seems that's the only way to get anywhere with customer service nowadays.
And seriously folks, opening an unopened iPad as a security measure? I supposed they should open every unopened souvenir you have in your checked baggage. I brought home two Disney snow globes from my honeymoon 7 years ago. I guess they should've broken the glass and drained the water to make sure it wasn't dangerous. Expecting a little common sense from people enforcing security is not unreasonable.

lol @ you checking luggage with an iPad in it.
You're lucky they didn't take the iPad itself IMO.

The fact that everyone keeps saying this should be the bigger issue.

Of course it's an issue. WE LIVE IN AMERICA.
Posted on 3/23/14 at 9:01 am to saintforlife1
How about you just explain to the person what happened and move on?
Posted on 3/23/14 at 9:28 am to saintforlife1
You're an idiot for checking a bag with a brand new iPad

Am I the only one that questions why he bought an iPad on the trip to give as a gift to someone back home? Instead of magnets or something, does this person collect iPads from around the country?
Posted on 3/23/14 at 10:17 am to Fububutsy
OP, just throw it away and buy another one. #poorpeoplesproblems

Great question. This was a business trip and the state I was in had no sales tax and I wanted to take advantage of it. If I bought it in my home state I'd've paid ~8.5%. Saved me about ~$45-50 bucks by buying it there.
Posted on 3/23/14 at 12:42 pm to saintforlife1
Shouldn't have checked it

Don't buy shite from Dubai.
Posted on 3/23/14 at 12:50 pm to saintforlife1
Maybe security saw it as possibly being a gutted iPad with explosives in place of the guts.
