I loved this article. Although I haven't had anything stolen the last few times I've flown it was obvious my things have been gone through.

I think this is ridiculous:

I learned quickly not to place anything of value in the bags I'm checking. I've also learned to use cheap luggage....I've had shampoo dumped on my clothes (it had been wrapped tight in a bag). Inside zippers and pockets torn beyond use. My luggage always arrives half zipped. The handle is broken every time...not any more. I use the cheap shit now.
