We have had an item stolen from our baggage, we flew from Orlando to Manchester (UK) with Virgin Atlantic on 13th March and checked in at Downtown Disney.

The item stole was a http://www.wdc.com/en/products/WDTV/ media player
the item is 8"x7"x3" so it's not really small enough to put in someones pocket, we always put cable ties on all our luggage after reading about thefts from baggage but one of our party had to take some things out of an overweight case and ended up putting the item in a pocket of a holdall/sports bag and it was the only thing that we didn't put a cable tie on.. make sure you lock it or you might lose it.. The item was only worth £80 so it's not gonna break the bank, but hey, I thought Airport security was tight or is that just for us visitors to your country

Is this common at Orlando International Airport !!
