In September of '18, I was shooting for a large restaurant group in Dallas and had a bag of flatware in my checked bag. They were antique forks, spoons and table knives not steak knives and they were fine leaving Atlanta. When I returned home, I found the TSA note in my bag so I called and was told that TSA has closed circuit cameras in the inspection rooms. I thought great just look at a 20-30 minute window to see who grabbed the bag. I filed a claim and lowballed the value so they'd either return the items or pay the claim. Silly me, it's taken 2.5 years and they just offered me half the declared value and it may take another 2.5 years to actually get reimbursed. I hate the TSA!
