Henry2,you mentioned theft in one of your posts and it reminded me of the experience my son went through. He was in the military at the time being deployed to Iraq but was sent to California for a weeks special training before flying to Kuwait,he was in uniform wearing his dog tags,he took them off and put them in the small tray along with his watch,he went through the security door and walked to the end of the conveyor to pick up his small bag and the tray containing his dog tags and watch,surprise,surprise,there was no watch,my son said where is my watch,dumb looks from a couple of the TSA guys so he said he wanted to speak to the head of security,a few minutes later a guy in a suit came up to my son and asked what the trouble was,he told the man about the incident and was asked to make out a report which he did. The headman was very nice and told my son that had a few bad apples and they were trying to weed them out,my son told the man who he thought had picked up the watch but could not prove he had it. My son moved on without his watch but two hours later his wife back in St.Louis receives a pone call from security telling her that they had recovered the watch and was mailing it to her. The watch had been found in the Toilet and turned in,however my son had never been in that toilet,he thinks the TSA guy got cold feet and dumped the watch there in case he was searched.
