Several months ago, my parents were passing through a TSA checkpoint and their bag was physically searched. When they arrived home, some sort of an unknown device they've never seen was in the bag. I have since disposed of it, but it was black, plastic, had a moving/clasping-like mechanism with a Velchro tip, and a label with the manufacturer and model number. It was rather cheap looking. While Google results did not return specifics, I think it is safe to assume it was one of the TSA's toys. Has anyone ever had a TSA item left in their bag? I see it as a careless waste of funds.
