An update...

It appears my reading / computer glasses have disappeared.

Retracing my steps I remember packing them in the same packing
cube as my cpap the morning I flew out.

I do remember TSA agent requesting I unlock the bag and taking
the bag out of my view to inspect the cpap. I remember checking
the bin after reassembling the bag for leftover items... none.

The bag was then relocked, stayed in my possession until
arrival at destination hotel and not reopened until then when
I first noticed the glasses missing.

I'm searching other places first before jumping to the conclusion
TSA is responsible. I will say I'm not in the habit if misplacing or
losing items during travel; however, my fault this time around was
taking a quick look and assuming everything was in the bag that
should be... the biggest concern was the cpap itself which is of
some value. Plus it was the wee hours of the morning and I was
in a sleep deprived state. <sigh>

I need to rethink my packing and process for getting through
security... separate bag for cpap ONLY seems like one option.


EDIT UPDATE:

I had spent a coupla days at my mom's place in Canada during
this trip... turns out my glasses are there.

TSA not to blame. Paul to blame. :-) Getting old.

On the other hand I was reviewing the complaint form for this
thing at the TSA site... why do they make it so difficult and want
my age, marital status, etc for a missing item?
