Kiss off your money. The problem is that 2 organizations are touching your bags and each has its own crooks or incompetents (benefit of doubt). You see none of the action so each org takes advantage of that in pointing to the other for blame. In the good old days of airlines' providing their own security, they had to take responsibility but now neither TSA nor the airline will admit to a thing. I have had things stolen twice and in neither case would the airline or TSA compensate. I waited 6 months to hear from TSA! And I actually know Norm Mineta and sent him a copy of my claim.
