I knew something was wrong when I picked up my bag and saw a zip tie used to secure the zippers in my suitcase. I didn't have time to check what was wrong at the airport. When I got home, it wasn't obvious that my bag was searched as I was in a hurry and my bag was a mess before I even boarded my flight. Then when I opened my laptop, there was a TSA notice in between the screen and keyboard. It's an interesting spot to place the TSA notice. I wonder if my laptop had its data downloaded? My laptop is password protected, but since they have all the tools in the world to decrypt these days, I'm assuming a copy of my laptop's data is stored now? A couple of my credit cards were also inside my suitcase. Given TSA's reputation in the past for stolen items, should I be concerned? I don't have the best memory in the world and since I was in a hurry to pack my bag in the hotel, it's not apparent that something is missing yet. I haven't seen any fraudulent charges on my credit cards yet. I also had a spare sim card inside my suitcase. Anyways, should I be concerned at all or I can "trust" that TSA actually did its job properly, followed its own guidelines, and didn't violate any of my rights? There's nothing I can do about the laptop now. I'm trying to convince myself that TSA doesn't have any of my laptop data. Maybe it's paranoia. Should I replace my credit cards and obtain different card numbers just in case? I know I can always report my cards as "stolen" and then get new card numbers reissued.
