It's coming from you though. That's why it's funny.

They need to fire all the TSA baboons. I've never encountered a more mentally deficient and slack-jawed group of people. I've seen them harass all sorts of people with no reason.

Pregnant women, Sikhs, kids.

They are a disgusting and ineffective group who don't deserve to have jobs.

On the night of our rehearsal supper, my father in law gave my wife her grandmother's wedding ring. We never went home again so it came with us on the honeymoon. On the way home she accidentally put it in her checked bag instead of the carry on. frickers found it & stole it.


Had to be the one TSA guy who screened the luggage then. Couldn't have been the numerous airline baggage handlers who had access to the bag out of the sight of cameras, choir boys, every last one of them. Hope they pulled the footage of the screening area (because every area has footage) and busted the SOB who stole it.

Sure, but I'm not giving my valuables in a suitcase to these people to go search through.

TSA should be held to a standard on par with Police, not thugs.

I avoid checking a bag like the plague.

It's why I bought one of those big backpacker type backpacks that can squeeze about 2 weeks worth of clothes within the dimension guidelines. Plus it avoids the possibility of the whole getting lost fiasco that could occur.

Yet they get pissed when we want to put our own lock on our bag

That is one of the worst feelings when you're the lone idiot at the baggage claim waiting for a bag that will never come.

We are forced, in a sense, to allow them to rummage through our belongings outside of our presence. If they demand we give up our opportunity to protect our own belongings, they should be held to an extremely high standard as it relates to care and theft.

I use cheap arse frenchmarket luggage and it's done me well.

Don't know about that, maybe so. However, I agree that private screeners create a huge accountability problem. Some yahoo gets some explosives on a plane and something goes off, then you bet the Feds will cancel that company's contract so quick! Sure, doesn't do those several hundred people that were blown out of the sky any good. The private screeners aren't accountable to congressional oversight the same way TSA is.
