Available evidence -- not much -- suggests that the number of claims approved is infinitesimal compared to the number filed.
I also would have to be STRONGLY convinced it was an accident. What happens if you think a TSO has intentionally dropped/damaged something in front of you? Could you summon the police?
Well, sure you can. Anybody can summon the police. The better question is what happens when the police arrive. They tend to side with the TSA, though not always. In any case, "proving" that someone intentionally damaged your property when they deny doing so is a pretty tough case to make, as you must know. Even videotapes are unlikely to be very helpful. The TSA won't hold up a sign first, saying, "Watch me damage this guy's property now." But you must know that.
