A friend of my wife works at the boarding gates at SeaTac airport. She spends time walking through the “basement” to get to and from locations.
One day, while walking through this “basement” area she found two or three TSA employees rummaging through a couple of large bags in a “dark corner”. When they saw her they basically said something along the lines of “We’re inspecting bags. Move along, citizen.”
I don’t know what ever cam of that. It was around two years ago.
I never pack anything of value in a suitcase. Ever.
FWIW, I only hit the post key once for the above two posts.
