Grrr......

I know this has been covered before, but this just got my goat. I work for a television station in the news area. One of our photographers (while just coming back from the local airport for the security story) and I were discussing airline security. Here's how the conversation went down:

Me: "If everything has to be checked, it'll be like Christmas for the baggage handlers. More things will get stolen than ever before."

Him: "Stolen? Nobody steals anything from bags. It doesn't happen."

Me: "What? Of course it does!"

Him: "When? When have you had anything stolen?"

Me: "Not personally. I fly about every three years."

Him: "Oh, then how do you know people get things stolen?"

Me: "Hey, I'll show you this website..."

Him: (cutting me off): "Oh.....a website I check EVERYTHING. I never carry anything on. There's no reason to carry anything on bigger than a purse."

I hope he decides to travel very, very soon and take all his valuables with him. Dolt.

Anyone care to add their two cents? Should I dispatch him for speaking ill of flyertalk?
