  Some news program put a tracker in a laptop and did the same thing. TSA agent was ripping people off.
context: Gotta wonder how many other people are being jerked around by United like this >
  
  It’s United. That line lives to jerk you around. >
  
  I had a woman take my bag once and go home with it. I didn't see it happen but it was a flight of about 37 people in a tiny airport that only gets 3 flights a day.  When she finally came back to the airport and hour later, she apologized and said the bags looked the same. Aside from both being black, they were nothing alike. >
  
  I really don’t know why they don’t make it harder to snatch luggage. >
  
  Set the way back machine to before deregulation and you will find that they actually did check tag numbers before letting you walk out of the luggage area.  Different times. >
  
  I would take bag tag checks back over TSA security theater any day. >
  
  TSA is a huge waste of money and resources. >
  
  I still can't believe even after all these years, they don't have a scanner that would prevent people from having to remove their shoes. 
  I don't use TSA-precheck to begin with since when they offered it to me for free one time, they told me not to remove my belt and sure enough, they had to search me and remove my belt. It's stupid and not worth having to give up biometric data and money in exchange for nothing of value. >
  
  Literally nowhere I've ever flown outside of the US has ever asked me to remove shoes. Not Japan, not China, not Hong Kong, not Australia, not the Philippines, not the UK. I don't understand why you guys are the only people that does it. >
  
  because of the shoe bomber >
  
  Just thank God that he wasn't the jockstrap bomber. >
  
  Well there was the underwear bomber. For some reason they don't make you take those off though. >
  
  Sounds like United just hired some random dude and, surprise, he turns out to be a thief. And rather than actually own up to such a lapse of judgement, they stall and hope the customer just gives up? >
  
  I enjoyed watching her beg apple for something >
  
  Holy hell, just read through the twitter saga. She won't drop it eh. Really thinks she's entitled to something from Apple. >
  
  Dat some good publicity tho >
  
  They've used similar stories about people using Apple Watches to call for help after car accidents or medical issues. I don't see any shame in trying to get some free swag out of a 2 trillion dollar company. They earned that money with marketing and overcharging their customers. You get yours, bag lady!! >
  
  It's a 2 trillion dollar company, as long as you're not harassing poor line/front-facing workers, go try and score from free swag.
  Like period.
  You could hate Apple with the fury of a thousand suns and be actively costing them hundreds of millions a year in bad publicity and I'd still respect you trying to cost them a little more. >
  
  , we tracked our luggage sitting next to the Burger King in the Madrid airport. Sat there for over 24 hours. Delta didn’t know where it was, but we did. Only took 48 hours to get it back. I won’t ever fly without AirPoding luggage… >
  
  Tell me your kids set this up for you without saying your kids set this up for you "airpoding luggage" >
  
  Nobody gives a fuck who did it, and getting help if you need it is hardly a bad thing. Absolute loser energy right there. >
  
  But, you can track AirPods, its the same chip thats in the tag I believe. >
  
  Maybe you're not, but this guy clearly said he did.  I have AirPods but I use my wired studio headphones on the plane and the AirPods are always in my bag as back up. >
  
  Back up meaning when I'm traveling for work, in my checked bag, incase something happens to my main headphones in my carry on. How do you know he used the wrong word?  Maybe it was a similar situation - he had AirPods in his bag and noticed he could track it, exactly like you can with AirTags.
