I never put items in those bins, save for shoes and jackets, all else goes into my carry-on

Dumb thief.  He'll get caught, no worries.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

All thief's are DUMB, jails are full of them-- the victim was not  smart either but that is no reason to steal from him

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

tsa is starting a program where prescreened flyers will b able to skip most of the hassle in select airports. (most major ones). frequent flyers will be invited (dont think can request to join). and members of global entry will be entitled to join.
