Interesting for travelers

Really good article on MSN today about the thieves that work for TSA.

Be sure to click on the link showing how to get into a locked zipper bag. Makes me want to not bother to use locks as they are so totally useless. I wonder if old fashioned hard-side no-zipper bags will become in vogue again. I'm going to take a picture of all my jewelry even tho it's going into my carry on anyway. And not taking a few things I was going to take. And going to go early so I can look at my carry-on after it's been examined and see if anything is missing before I leave the security area too.

Am I the only one who thinks it's time to get back to using the railroads?

Yeah, I'm a white-knuckle-flyer to begin with too and this doesn't make me happy at all. Can't wear all the jewelry since it would set off the metal detectors and they can palm/steal stuff if you take it off to go thru. The only really expensive thing I was planning on taking was my diamond ring, but I may leave that home after all. Everything else is good 1928 stuff, but not real gems/precious metals.

The whole thing about neither TSA or the airlines taking responsibility for some stuff is just outrageous.
