Jewelry too. Can't trust TSA/government workers. Just another reason to limit air travel when possible.
Was thinking of an Alaska cruise or vacation but can’t get there without traveling through a blue state or Canada or flying.
My travel days are clearly behind me now.
Praying for revival in our nation and a major MAGA Victory this fall!

I worked at the TSA in Orlando for four miserable months. The women were nothing but entitlement queens. My male co-workers, on the average, tended to be as sweet as anything and just looking to be in a decent job with bennies. They tended to be nicer to the flyers, as well.
In Orlando, I don’t think much was stolen anymore (I had a friend who told stories of how in the early days ‘confiscated’ items were diffied up like plundered bounty, especially large bottles of expensive alcohol.)
Again, I was reprimanded numerous times for being too friendly. Read that again — I was fired for being polite to the travelers. We were actually TOLD to be as rude as possible and to treat the traveling public like prisoners. I couldn’t do it.
I quit because I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m back in Exceptional Student Education in the public schools. More rewarding, and the kids are amazing and loveable. Actually, Gen Ed kids, by and large, can be pretty cool.
I recall coming back from a vacation trip through Miami International several years ago.
My garment bag came out opened. Missing my leather toiletries bag. Then the leather toiletries bag came out. I opened it and stuck it back into my garment bag.
I did not realize until I got home that my watch was missing.
It was only a Seiko, but it had been a graduation gift from my parents.
When I travel now, I never check a bag. I bring a rolling carry on that fits in the overhead and a small backpack.
