Wow, I'm actually surprised that you would blame TSA or the woman instead of yourself (I'm even more surprised that no other comment mention this). It is you who did not care to ensure your laptop go back to you. There is some bias against TSA, but you cannot blame them for everything (disclaimer: never been to States, never had anything in common with TSA).
Sure, it is a pity that you lost a computer; it is probably some kind of TSA fault for handling the laptop to the woman (probably a common thief), but you should remember that you left your computer for a scan and you should receive it back. No computer back? Ask TSA for your computer - 10-15 minutes, most probably everything would turn out ok.
- alfanick 10y agoCan someone argument why this is being downvoted? I've read the article twice, just using logical and safe unbiased thinking here.
- ubernostrum 10y agoThe author of the article appears to have done everything he legally could do. TSA does not generally give you a choice of customizing their screening procedures to suit your desire to keep an eye on your belongings. So you appear to just be bashing on the author for no reason -- there's simply not much more he could have done.
- wiredin 10y agoI agree, if you bring a very expensive laptop with you while traveling, you need to keep a very close eye on it. I bring my $150 chromebook with me while i'm traveling, and I always make sure I get it back when it comes through the x-ray machine... you left your computer behind, this is your fault.
