"On Sunday, September 19, David Stark landed at Denver International Airport on Frontier Airlines flight 447, which had originated in Philadelphia. Stark had checked two pieces of luggage in Philly: a box of clothes and a black suitcase that, when he packed it, had contained a Hewlett-Packard laptop computer in a black zippered case.
After retrieving his two pieces of luggage from the Frontier carousel, Stark returned to his home in Evergreen, opened his suitcase and found a handwritten red, white and blue notice from the Transportation Security Administration informing him that his bag had been opened and searched before it was put on the Frontier flight. What Stark did not find was the laptop computer. It was gone.
"I didn't think a slip of paper was a very good trade for an $1,800 computer," he says."
