Luggage is supposed to be UNLOCKED. Thats right but at our local airport, the security people will lock your bag after they search it, if you want them to.

This suspect was charged with larceny and possession of stolen property.The article doesn't say he was fired so i suspect he was not.
I was thinking the same.

"I would say that the utility of screening procedures in any setting is totally dependent upon their statistical predictive value, would you agree? ." totally? no. see how directly and clearly i answered your question? let me ask mine again: do you think infirm elderly should be exempt from security checks?

Looks to me like their "insurance" is pretty worthless considering all the exceptions.

I, for one, have no intention of flying. The airline industry can file their chapter 7 bankruptcies; if I cannot drive to my destination, I simply will not go.AMEN!

Besides the cameras, the baggage tags should have a unique bar code to identify the bag, and the inspectors should be required to scan the tag on a bag he/she searches. In the event something turns up missing (or, as sometimes happens, contraband is discovered to have made it through), there'd be a record of who handled the bag. The cameras would let the cops go back and see if the inspector took something from that bag and make sure that inspectors are doing the scanning and aren't searching bags that they don't scan. If UPS can track every package at all times, I don't see why it couldn't be done with baggage too.

Well, let's put it this way. Which would be more likely to result in a lower risk of "home invasion"?
a) Installing steep, narrow entrance stairs to ward off the infirm elderly burglar
or
b) Making it plain that the residents of the home are armed
To: MineralMan
Ah yes, but before the TSA, we could employ decent locks.

Mail order items and cash from birthday cards. Sending cash through the US Mail? NEVER a good idea.

And people wonder why I refuse to fly. I'm with you, I refuse to get on a plane. Haven't flown since that airplane crash in Hopewell PA with the rudder problem, approx. 1994.

It depends on the airport. Flew from Albuquerque to Boise last month. The ABQ Southwest ticket agent watched my bags (including winter work clothes, boots and tools in a duffel bag) as they were searched out of sight from the ticket counter. They were originally secured with cable ties, but she soon came back and said TSA didn't have any to resecure them. I always carry extras with me and gave her them. The bags were secure when I picked them up in Boise. Coming back, I watched the agents search the bag, but left before they resecured it with cable ties. Unfortunately, they messed up and cable tied it incorrectly so it was unsecure but intact when I arrived home.
My advice is to carry heavy duty cable ties and request (strongly if necessary) that the ticket agent make sure that the TSA properly secure your bags after searching. Having he/she watching also ensures no TSA theft will occur.

Absolutely. I'm packing for my Christmas trip home today. The laptop, digi-cam, and money stay with me. So do the Christmas presents even though they're all pretty cheap, I don't want them getting smashed.
My clothes go in the checked bag... I'll be mad if I lose my Christmas dress, but otherwise, it's all easily replacable.
Of course I do my best not to have to check things at all, but this time that's not possible.
