Who packs fine jewelry and cash in their suitcase? If it won't fit in your pockets, how about a carry on?
Only a fool would pack cash, jewelry or medicine in a suitcase and check it.
Unbelievable that the govt entertains claims on it.
some airlines wont let you carry medications unless you can prove you will need it during flight..
Las Vegas TSA stole my laptop out of my checked on bag. I filed a claim and it was denied because of lack of evidence.... How the hell am I supposed to provide evidence???
TSA asked if there was TSA note saying they entered my bag... Well no why the hell would the thief put his calling card in my bag??
Here's what TSA needs to do because stolen item is a real problem. Install cameras where the inspectors are at and when someone files a claim find their god damn bag going through security and see if the inspector opened it and stole something...
Grr I'm pissed.......
