Anyone else getting TSA "gifts" ?
We had a bit of a surprise when we opened our bags this evening. There were 2 different TSA type locks and an odd key fob in our bag that were not ours. They had also completely disasembled bzbdavid's battery powered beard trimmer - batteries out, blade top removed all pieces tossed back into the toiletries kit. Other evidence of pawing but of course no TSA love note.
Anyone else have "extras" when they open their bags?

Back in 2005 I didn't get one TSA love note in my bag. I got a whole freaking shrink wrapped stack of them.

I got my all the clothes sprayed with Bvlgari, then I found my bottle empty, wrapped and not smelling like a leak occured. TSA lock opened, no note left.

Is this just a game to TSA? I'm getting tired of these invasions of privacy supposedly in the name of security.

Maybe one day someone going to SIN or KUL will have some drugs put into their checked bags from one of Comrade Kip Hawley's finest.

I guess they'll want you to 'hang' around SIN for a bit.
