I left an iPad in a seat back once, and didn't realize until I was outside of security. When I told security what happened, I was given a special pass to go back and get it, and the gate agent let me have it only after I accurately described it.
As you mention, experiences vary. For me, the most frustrating and awful part of airports and flying is consistently the other travelers, not TSA or airline employees.
- ggg9990 8y agoHehe... how do you accurately describe an iPad?
- lostlogin 8y agoIt’s an iPad 2. There is a 2cm scratch on top right of the screen from where I went skating on it getting out of bed and there is a big dent on bottom from a child dropping it. The back is scuffed as all hell from a life of pain and the Smart Cover has worn the aluminium on the side so far through that it’s almost black. The speaker does odd things regularly from the time it got watered.
- jotm 8y agoHow do you even remember that? Regardless, my stuff is in perfect condition, I could only say what emails I got yesterday or what apps I have installed, I guess...
- draw_down 8y agoI told them it had a blue cover and a white front.

- desertrider12 8y agoThat's like when Buster Keaton asked a lady to describe a dollar bill.
