On arriving in LHR I noticed my TSA-certified combination lock was missing form my checked baggage. I opened up the bag and as expected there was the usual TSA letter confirming the bag had been examined.
The lock is probably worth only a couple of dollars, but it's still annoying
I assume the TSA won't ever give me any compensation - anyone else tried?
Had the complete opposite happen to me. As always,I leave my bags locked. I don't carry the keys for that exact reason. When I arrive in Bangkok the other day,I check into the hotel and discover TSA locked my bag! I eventually had to call maintenence to rip my bag open with a screwdriver. As always, not a big TSA fan at all.
