Forgot to mention something interesting. When I got home Saturday night, I noticed that the zipper on my suitcase was broken, actually a portion was torn away from the fabric and not on the track, so about an 8 inch segment wasn't even closed. Actually, the dog discovered it first and removed a toy I had bought for my niece and chewed it up. Anyway, I opened it and discovered a form letter from those lovely nitwits at Homeland Security. It seems they randomly search bags coming into the country (not surprising of course)and mine had been chosen for 'screening'. Must've done it while I was in line at immigration before I claimed it for customs. The letter actually asserted that every single item was present in the bag (so don't even try to claim that they lost something) despite the fact that the bag couldn't be closed once they were done with it. Then the letter went on to state that if my bag was damaged in the search, it was because I had locked it and they have the legal right to search any bag so don't even try to make a claim for the damages, buster. That's right, they insert a disclaimer right into every bag they search insisting that if anything is missing or damaged, it is not their fault. And, no, it wasn't locked, those morons just couldn't be bothered to work a zipper which worked just fine the many times I used it over the past 2 weeks. Just thought I'd let you all know that these nincompoops are incompetent at the smallest scales too, and already have their excuses preprinted and ready to go. I guess they did learn something from New Orleans. Doc Sharon . 0
