Airline workers are trying to match 68 pieces of stolen luggage with lost claims while police search for clues into the theft of the bags that were found in a trash container outside a pet store near George Bush Intercontinental Airport.George Bush's fault!

On TXCN, it was reported that most of the luggage was from International flights originating in Dubai, and London.

Following my nightmare with United, concerning a theft from my suitcase while it passed through their baggage claim, I'm in favor of the death penalty for anyone who steals from luggage.
Call it air piracy and hang a few of them.
I'm not joking.

misdirected luggageInteresting term. I don't remember ever referring to my own luggage as being misdirected.
It is probably tied to third person usage, such as his luggage or their luggage. I'm sure in the first person even airline employees refer to their own luggage with more appropriate terms such as "lost" or "motherf#$@ing stolen."

yet ANOTHER reason why I refuse to fly..I live in georgia and work in baton rouge..if I have another location I have to go to, I have a really big pop-up camper I take with me, use it on the road, get into a hotel when I get where I'm going, and use the pop-up on the way back..not to mention I get to see a lot of the country I'd otherwise not see..sure, it takes me a lot longer to get where I'm going, but it's worth it to me..

That makes even worse as this group of luggage had never been through customs.

Wow, you must have been carrying something really valuable! I don't, in checked luggage.

Look on the bright side!
45,000 TSA employees are set to begin Muslim sensitivity training at the behest of your pals and mine, CAIR.
O happy day! No longer will the semi-retarded, slackjawed, mouthbreathers who perform their duties at our airports be insensitive to the poor, misunderstood Muslims who only want a chance...to kill us all. Baby bottle bombs, you say?
Nonsense. It was all just a mistake. Nobody actually died.
Now, hurry up and forget that incident and the other one,umm, it think it's called 9/11. CAIR SAYS FORGET ABOUT IT. OR ELSE.

Same experience here. I think it was Delta. Upon filing a theft-loss complaint, their attitude was something I'd paraphrase as: "How stupid can you possibly be to trust us?".

Now if only D/FW Airport could find that elderly lady they lost two years ago.

I know what you mean, they screen each of us passengers like we're the Unabomber, yet Hophead Willie gets to skirt security on his way to steal salables from the luggage of "rich" tourists. Sort of like communism, without the commissar.
I say, a full patdown search of all baggage handlers, plus one of those "see through" machines that show all your body parts, as well as what you're smuggling out of the baggage department. Every single day, every single shift. Frequent random drug testing is a damn good idea, too.

Must be a new kind of security. No luggage, no threat.

Same experience here. I think it was Delta. Upon filing a theft-loss complaint, their attitude was something I'd paraphrase as: "How stupid can you possibly be to trust us?".United blamed the TSA, the TSA blamed United.
The supervisor at TSA actually said to me, not joking, 'Well, wait a few days and check eBay.'
I asked him how it was that employees could carry out seeming truckloads of loot under his very nose. He said, 'We're not concerned with what they take out... only what someone might put on the plane'.
It took me about 3 weeks, but I got a check out of United. I called the CEOs office and told them that I'd been approached by a TV station that had video of my bag being pilfered and they wanted to tape me as I watched the crime take place. A loca TV station was at that time doing a series on baggage theft; United agreed to settle on the spot.
