    Luggage rummaged through in airport

    It is hard to trust the concept of "homeland security" when you travel by airplane and your luggage isn't safe. I flew from Burbank yesterday and had my luggage opened by someone.

    They opened every bag and zipper, messed up all the clothing and drank part of a bottle of rum (I only hope they drank it). There was nothing in the case worth stealing so they didn't get anything that I can tell.

    It just pisses me off when I have to go through security while the luggage crew is opening luggage, stealing stuff and getting drunk on the passengers' liquor.

    If they can get stolen stuff out of the secure areas, they can get bombs in.

    Actions like this in airports shows the pompous fallacy of our government's "homeland security".

    It's getting to the point where I play "origami clothes master" and mash/compress everything for my entire trip into the maximum size carry on roller. The zipper teeth are under 5000psi once I'm done, but it's worth it because you just can't check baggage anymore.

    Sucks.

      I doubt it was the "luggage crew" randomly opening things and drinking rum. More likely it's an inspection.
