TSA Stealing Underwear

My underwear was taken out of my checked luggage

I have just arrived in Madison after taking a red-eye here involving stopping in Detroit and Cincinnati. The flight out of Portland was overbooked and they had to check some carry-on bags through to the final destination. Mine was one of them.

Tired and grungy, I took a shower when I got here and discovered that my underwear has been removed from my bag.

Let me repeat that in other words. My feminine unmentionables are no longer in my bag.

I’m quite sure I packed them because I ran a load of laundry right before leaving in order to have enough to get me through the weekend so they were the last thing in the bag. I checked with Rob and, no, I didn’t forget to pack them. There was no TSA flyer in the bag, either.

I’ve pulled everything out of the bag and shaken it to be sure. The ONLY pair that’s left was tucked in the bottom under my socks and wasn’t one of the ones that was in that load of laundry.

I’m on the hold with the airline right now. So far I’ve already been passed from customer service to baggage.

Ah. I’m now talking to a representative who is doing a missing file claim for me. She agrees that it is creepy. I have to fill out a Damage/Pilferage Form, turn in my receipts and then wait up to 10 weeks for the corporate offices to make a decision.

Have I mentioned that this is really creepy?
