TSA screeners in Baltimore were caught stealing items from military families and Soldiers were were on their way to Iraq. Classy.

I had a shirt and purse missing from some checked in baggage when I got back from an overseas trip, so I learned my lesson that way.

Those screeners are thieves...they don't get paid enough not to be, or they at least don't have the kindness in their hearts to be. Carry on your luggage, my friends!

Coming back from Hawaii was amusing. Our luggage had so called "TSA" locks, but the inspector didn't have any TSA keys...

Shortly after Sept. 11, we found our bags had been thoroughly "examined" and 2 pairs of hiking boots were added to one suitcase. It was pretty creepy. I wasn't sure if it was due to the new screening procedures or the old practice of baggage bartering. You know, when a couple of baggage handlers get together, open a few suitcases and haggle over who gets what.
