Either TSA is slacking off on supervision or they changed the policy as I just had two brand new laser pointers surreptitiously, ahem, 'confiscated' from my checked on luggage flying Hawaiian Airlines from Las Vegas to Maui via Honolulu. No notes, obvious TSA ransacking, forced open and broke my very durable digital underwater camera waterproof case also. It's getting so you can't take ANYTHING with you anymore. You can't carry EVERYTHING and their policy basically denies ALL claims (except 'broken' clothing... to a very limited extent). It's enough to make one just stay home!
