Maybe I am lucky or just plain wierd, but I have never had anything taken from my checked baggage. I have never heard of any of my friends or family having anything taken either. Both my dad and dad in law are constantly on the go and fly all the time, sometimes wqith tickets at the last minute. They have never had anything taken out of their bags.

I guess we are a lucky family, and I have knocked on my head to luck for my future flying!
