My father traveled to see us and his grandkids two years ago at Christmas, and had cash for them in his carry on bag. Not only was that missing, but presents he brought in his checked bag were missing as well.

We followed up with TSA and it went nowhere. He was devasated, and blamed himself. He thought he let his grandchildren down.

The TSA is a useless agency. It is Kabuki Theater "security." It is a Makework McJobs program for Democrats.

“The TSA is a useless agency”

That’s the understatement of the year, SkyPilot.

Nothing new here. A co-worker while passing through security in Jackson MS. had his money clip stole out of the tub with the camera show it was there when it passed through. One of the TSA agents suddenly had to leave during the event. Nothing was ever done about it.

Years back, I remember Laura Ingram talking about the Tools standing Around stealing a gold crucifix from her checked luggage that was given to her by Pope John Paul. I try not to put anything valuable in my checked baggage but it’s hard to not travel with cash, laptop, camera, etc.

There was a note from TSA stating that my luggage was selected at random for screening and they selected my camera, GPS and anything of value.

You can't trust government employees in any third world banana republic.

Punishment of convicted thieves is one thing about Sharia law that I kinda LIKE.

Public amputation of the hands of TSA agents caught stealing from passengers may give the others reason to hesitate.

I was never aware people put their cash through the x-rays. I would never do that. I carry a metal money clip but I always separate the cash from it before putting the empty clip in the little plastic tubs at TSA checkpoints. I keep the cash itself in my pocket at all times. I don’t trust the people who work TSA but I’m sure some of them are good people and hard workers.

THIS is why we are driving on vacation this year. Flying is run by the Too Stupid for Arbys crowd.

I travel by car. Claustrophobia in those overcrowded jets makes me nuts, and if I was forced to sit on the tarmac in one with no a/c or a chance to use the restroom I would rip the top of the plane off.

“TSA has a zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace”.
It sure is mighty nice of them not to condone theft by employees. I feel safer now.
