Huh? CTX will fog photographic film (light, IR, or x-ray sensitive), but I've never heard of it damaging data on magnetic media (hard drive) or damaging solid state electronics (motherboard, CPU). If I'm wrong, please advise.

I'm not sure why this guy is filing is complaints at Denver; I can't see why TSA would be touching his bags at the arrival airport. Denver has had its issues, but I doubt this incident is one of them.

Seems like it was probably stolen at PHL, which has a history of thefts by TSA. The runaround this guy has received is unacceptable; there's got to be some accountability and severe punishments to put a stop to this sort of thing.
