Eh, va?
CBP går inte igenom några väskor när de kommer till USA innan de hamnar på bandet. Om det är en röra i väskan när den dyker upp på bandet så beror det på säkerhetskontrollen i något land väskan passerade på utresan. I USA hämtar ju du din egen väska innan du går igenom tullen där ev inspektioner skulle komma att ske.
Precis
@agehall. Detta händer uteslutande på vägen tillbaka från USA som en trevlig avresepresent (dvs när baggaget checkas in därifrån). Det ligger i 90% av fallen en sådan där trevlig lapp från TSA (det är var faktiskt TSA jag menar och inte CBP) om att man sökt igenom väskan "respektfullt" iallafall. Och när dom gör sönder saker så får man ett sånt här svar ("great care" i detta fall innebar en upplåst väska som "brutits upp" av ngn anledning, ett par mätverktyg som tidigare låg invirade, hade skador som någon kastat dem på ett hårt cementgolv. Lycka till med laptops i baggaget:
"Thank you for contacting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Contact Center regarding missing and/or damaged items from your checked baggage..
TSA is required by law to screen all property, including checked baggage that is loaded onboard commercial passenger aircraft. To ensure the security of the traveling public, it is sometimes necessary for Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to conduct hand inspections of checked baggage. TSOs receive training in the procedures to properly inspect checked baggage. TSOs are required to exercise great care during the screening process and to return a passenger’s belongings to the same condition they were found. We regret that you were unsatisfied with the manner in which your checked baggage was handled.
Please note that TSA assumes a very limited role with respect to checked baggage handling. We are only responsible for checked baggage from the time it is presented for screening until the time it has been cleared of screening. Once checked baggage has been screened and cleared, airlines are responsible for transporting it to its final destination. As a result, the amount of time checked baggage is under TSA control is relatively short.
Many airports have automated in-line baggage screening systems which can screen and clear a bag remotely, resulting in no physical inspection at all. However, if a TSO needs to open and search a checked bag, the TSO will place a Notice of Inspection (NOI) inside the bag to alert the passenger that his or her bag was searched by TSA. The NOI also contains instructions on what to do if the passenger has a complaint.
You may wish to file a claim for missing and\or damaged items by completing a Standard Form 95 (claim form). A claim form will be sent to you within 24 hours of this response. Claim forms are also available on our Web site at
www.tsa.gov. If you decide to file a claim, it will be processed in accordance with the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Since the complaint concerns security screening at a specific airport, we have forwarded a copy of this e-mail to the Customer Service Manager (CSM) at that location.
TSA encourages travelers to pack valuables including jewelry, electronics, money, and fragile items in their carry-on bag and not in their checked baggage. Passengers are allowed one carry-on in addition to one personal item, such as a laptop computer, purse, small backpack, briefcase, or camera case. This information, along with additional travel tips, may be found on the TSA Web site."
Men jag antar att eventuell implementation av regler med elektronik ombord även kommer att gälla även från USA? (Såsom det funkar med Emirates etc.?)
.. Då skulle ideén bli om man implementerar detta, att man skall ställa sig vid baggagebandet vid ankomst från t.ex. Europa och plocka ur sin elektronik igen då, och slänga detta till kabinbaggage om man kör transfer Europa-USA-Sydamerika.. för att slippa att TSA förstör ngt igen i incheckade baggaget vid avresa då?
