Fuck those guys.

$150 benchmade, which was very specifically placed in my checked baggage, gone. In its place a “notice of baggage inspection” pamphlet.

I assume very little, to no recourse?

Pretty sure I lost a Gerber Dime just because they wanted it. They took it in my return flight and I'm pretty sure it's a TSA legal item.

Can you pack valuables as if it was a firearm? Locked in a pelican case. Only you have the key.

Stole my surefire E2L outdoorsman flashlight because it “looked like a weapon” TSA generously offered to let me go back to ticketing to mail it home then get back in the line  for security that I had just been through and waited 1.5 hrs to clear.

They stole a box of 357 ammo from my luggage once.

iPad taken from my carry on while I was subject to a TSA fuckwit wrenching the book off my foot because I wasn't taking it off fast enough (I am mobility and flexibility challenged).

I didn't see my bag opened at the checkpoint, and didn't find it was missing until I was on the plane.

TSA used to sell bulk lots of multi-tools confiscated stolen, knives, etc.  2 dozen Gerber dimes in a lot, etc.  on the bay.

Hubby has, I have not. We were going to a family reunion in NY. We found an old picture of one of cousins of hubby's late father. We were taking it to another cousin at the reunion. It was in my hubby's checked bag and wasn't there when we arrived in NY. I think it fell out when they went through his bag, and they didn't give a shit.

He's had other things mysteriously disappear as well. He flies a lot more than I do.

I might have bought it.....There's a guy on eBay that buys knives and such from the TSA in bulk lots and sells them....Thanks!

I remember listening to Neal Boortz and he saw them steal his camera and left, security wouldn't do anything.

Are they (TSA) actually stealing stuff or are they confiscating thing under some bullshit policy they have?

How is can they just yank an iPad out of a carry on without someone else noticing they have an iPad while on the job.

If I saw a TSA agent steal my stuff, I'd most likely end up arrested if security didn't respond.

I had to go to Tuscaloosa AL several times for work
Even though it was a twelve hr drive from SW Pa, I refuse to put up with the garbage we are subjected to now to fly.   Plus with connecting flight to get anywhere other than Philly or Charlotte our of PIT, I maybe would only save 3-4 hours out of my day by flying.  Not worth it for freedom of movement and not being treated like a criminal to fly.

But I don’t believe I have had anything stolen.   I try not to travel with any valuable items that belong to me, if flying.

They've taken pocket knives from me twice that I completely forgot were in my pocket (Columbus, OH and Aspen, CO) but they were cheap ones so I didn't care.

The funniest thing they took from me though was a fake plastic silver bullet key chain the NRA sent me (during their silver bullet brigade campaign) .  It was obviously fake, plastic and had a frikkin hole drilled through it for the keychain!  When I objected, the old TSA guy said "if you held that up in an airplane cabin at 30,000 feet, the next thing you know you have F-16's flying next to you!"  I kid you not lol!

Well, they hire inner city degenerate mouth breathers who are low/no skill mall cops.

The security guards at my work at all cut from the same cloth. They steal tools and shit ALL the time.

I had a full set of proto spline drive ratchet wrenches disappear off my desk between 5pm on friday, and 7am on Saturday. The only people who had access to the building from those hours, were security. You do the math.

The airlines also have outlet stores where they sell your "lost" luggage.

It's very profitable.

Gotta get a lock box and bolt it into your suitcase these days.
Be sure to label TSA Theft deterrent.

TSA = people with badges stealing your shit, legally!

I just get searched every time I fly.  I just avoid it as much as possible.  I'll only fly if I'm going out west because it doesn't really save me any time if I'm going less than 12 hours away.

Takes me 2 hours to get to the airport, 2 hours to get through security, another hour waiting for the plane, $100 in drinks to get my wife to get on the flight, 4 hours of air time, half hour waiting on mouth breathers to get off the plane in front of me, an hour to get a rental car and I still have to drive to my hotel.

Or I can just fill up my truck and go stopping wherever I feel like along the way.

They didn't take from me on my last flight but they did give me a nice ladies electric razor, some contact lenses and a small bag of cheap jewelry that I didn't start out with.

They stole an EMPTY lighter, not butane or anything crazy just a lighter that hadn't worked in years that a old friend had given me and I used to carry for good luck . I'd flown with it many many times but one time all of a sudden I might IDK do something with a fuel-less lighter. ETA I'm not talking about a disposable lighter, it was a nice metal lighter with no fuel.

Wife lost a tiny Swiss Army knife keychain.

This, I've never seen a professional looking/acting TSA agent, they’re always ghetto(it’s close to the airport) or Top Flite Security of the World so I’m not shocked when ghetto folks and shade trees do ghetto things.

They took one of my two TSA approved combo locks I had on a 12 bottle wine carrier (luggage) when I was flying home from Sonoma.

They let me carry a grenade launcher through in my checked badge.

When the TSA agent asked me what it was I truthfully answered: "It's a discharger cup."  Since he had no idea that "discharger cup" was the official UK nomenclature for a WW1 Enfield rifle grenade launcher, I was good to go.

Edit to add:  I didn't have an Enfield rifle, grenade launching blanks or any grenades, so it was pretty harmless.
