Greetings:
In a recent column by the great
Bob Pease, he told of how both he and his wife had,
in a very short time, each had the battery charger
for their notebook computers stolen from checked
baggage at an airport. He postulates that there
is likely a collaborative scheme between the x-ray
scanners and the baggage loaders whereby the x-ray
scanners somehow tag luggage with “easy” items to
snatch, and then the baggage loaders simply reach
into the marked regions and purloin the goods.
Have you recently had items stolen at the airport?

I didn't think Bob Pease liked computers.

Greetings kpainter:
Come to think of it,
you're right - he does take every opportunity to
bash computers and all them newfangled devices.
He should be praising the security folks for giving
him an excuse to use pencil and paper.

I had a digital camera stolen at San Diego Lindberg
Field by Delta or TSA pesonnel. Upon arrival at
BWI and discovering the theft, I have to say that
the Delta personnel were the most unconcerned, and
uncaring that I have ever come across. It's no surprise
Delta's in bamkruptcy with staff like that.

Greetings darrly:
I'm surprised the airlines
manage to stay in business at all. They must somehow
receive huge government subsidies.
