      I have friends who work for all major airlines and they will prevent him from traveling. They frequently check reservations and if they ever see the scumbag with an upcoming trip, they will write down the confirmation #, flight date / time etc, then the morning of the flight, that employee will ACCIDENTALLY cancel the trip. But they will do it from a personal device with a VPN and not their work computer so it will be untraceable. And in case you're wondering why the employee will wait until the morning of the trip, it's because if it's that close to the departure, the ticket cannot be refunded and in some cases the airline won't even issue a travel credit.

    I lost a checked bag traveling from JFK-NYC to Minneapolis in the 1980s. It was especially upsetting because I’m a concert pianist and lost several important music scores. The bag was never located, but 40 years later one of the scores turned up in a music store in Minneapolis. It was being sold as a used copy. My name was on it, and the clerk knew who I was. She kindly contacted me (in San Francisco) and mailed it back!!! An amazing twist to a sad story. How it got to that store is the mysterious part. Someone either stole or found the bag and sold my music to used bookstores, is my only guess. It’s a shame it can’t talk to me and tell me where it was for 40 years!! 😂😂😂😂

    I do remember as a kid there was someone at the exit checking it was your luggage that matched your claim ticket. Now airlines don't care as they don't want to pay for added employees. If I'm coming back on a domestic flight and I checked in a piece of luggage, no matter what airport, I don't hang around the terminal after getting off the airplane. It's directly to the baggage claim. With international flights, it's not an issue, as you pick up your luggage before leaving the international arrivals area. People from off the streets can't just walk in there. San Diego is small potatoes with this problem. Check LAX. I don't know how many baggage claims there are, but it's a lot. A thief can get lost in the crowd, and pick a different terminal every time he returns. Once he picks up someone else's luggage, just strut out the door and hop on the first shuttle bus to anywhere to make a quick getaway.

    Years ago, one had to have their voucher confirmed with the tag on the bag. That was stopped and I was concerned about theft. My son was a fencer and we flew to many national competitions. He put his gear into a hard sided golf bag and as we realized the bag wasn’t on the carousel, the airport workers had lined the oversized items against the wall. I saw an older gentleman walking away with the only bag that looked like my son’s. The fencing sticker we had slapped on the side confirmed it and my son sprinted to prevent the man from reaching the exit. When I arrived the man was insisting it was his golf clubs and voices were being raised catching the attention of many people including security. Luckily, a security guard came over as we were physically blocking his exit. The man tried to explain that we were trying to steal his clubs and I told him to open the bag and prove that they were golf clubs, not the fencing gear and epees it contained. The security guard didn’t bother and instead asked for the voucher and the man said he didn’t have it because it was never needed. I presented the voucher, security verified it was our bag and we left. I wondered how often that happens since golf clubs are easy to sell. We bought a fencing bag that isn’t as sturdy because they are all soft sided, but knew it would never be mistaken for golf clubs.

    That is the whole purpose of the baggage claim ticket you get. This is so silly and easy to prevent. As far as I can remember, probably the '70's, in the San Juan, PR international airport, firstly, no one can enter the baggage claim area from the street. Secondly, they have 2 security guards posted on the only exit and they check your baggage claim ticket against the luggage you are carrying before you can leave. I am amazed I have never seen this in any other US airport. Maybe it is time to get this procedure implemented everywhere.

      @@mrparts ,
      Please see the comment below by cabojacks5106. I should have added that exact statement after my original sentence. And yes, decades ago, there were attendants at the airport exits who matched your luggage tags with your luggage receipts which were matched to your tickets and boarding passes. Also, only actual passengers from that one corresponding flight were allowed in the luggage claim area. There was a full chain of custody to prevent exactly this sort of pilfering and it worked, without creating any sort of delays or inconvenience. Unless of course you consider it a delay and an inconvenience to stop at the exit and wait for ten seconds while an attendant checks to make certain that you are taking only what is yours to take, with no line or delay incurred beyond the ten seconds.
      Also, next time you think about accusing someone of having a dumb talking point, pause and consider that the person may know something or have experienced something that you have not. I did not pull my original comment out of thin air. I am actually old enough to have experienced such baggage checks by airport security before I was allowed to leave with my luggage. Believe me when I say this, it was no inconvenience even for business and first class passengers because we all understood how easy it was to get one's luggage confused with another passenger's luggage, and what problems that would cause. We didn't even think about this sort of theft because it was nearly impossible for someone outside of the baggage employees to do it even once before being caught. Employees didn't want to risk their jobs over a few thousand dollars worth of other peoples' stuff before being caught, so employee luggage theft was not a concern either.
      These sorts of problems we face today on flights are mostly the result of deregulation. It is nice to have cheap flights, but not with the crazy behavior, overpacked seating, and poor service we have become accustomed to.

    Twice I saw bags almost go the theft route. Fortunately at the time (here in L.A.) they still had the checking of the bags against your baggage claim ticket so the thief was caught immediately. The second time I saw it happen those witnessing the incident weren't sure if it was theft or truly was an accident. The guy grabbed a bag, got partway to the door, seemed a little confused just as another passenger said "Hey, I think you have my bag." Whereupon the first person said "I thought it didn't seem right." So we never knew if it was a ploy or not.
    And now for my travel tip. Don't travel with solid color suitcases. Especially high end ones. I once watched a show where a thief was interviewed and he mentioned that they rarely look into stealing patterned bags because it's easier for the owners to notice them walking on by with the luggage.

    Air port must block access to unauthorized people to come in side and grab luggage of passengers.
    In India you can’t get in side the airport if you’re not passenger you have to stay out on curbside to pick up your guests

    Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe.
    Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely...

      It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist in NY. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.

      I've shuffled through a few experts in the past, but settled with SAMUEL PETER DESCOVICH. The strategy he use is recession-proof, more specifically profit-oriented , and most likely, you'd find his basic info on the net, he's a renowned advisor.
