[Silent Bob]

Jim the point of my statement was to show that Gromit does actually make a point (Where you say he has no basis and you "appear" to disagree with him) and also that there is more than enough evidence out there to show it's very possible and more than likely a TSA agent could/is more than likely to have stolen the OP's camera as opposed to an airline agent.

I did not say TSA don't steal, nor did I imply it

I know that, but in your first statement you push blame solely on the airline and in the second you state:

In these days of digital CCTV, there is no excuse for the TSA and the airlines not having comprehensive video coverage of the bags.

Really? but that hasn't stopped them from doing it and I've given you three, CURRENT examples of theft by a tsa agent, one of which was very high profile - the TSA agent who stole the HBO camera and mind you he was not caught on CCTV he was caught trying to sell that camera on ebay! You think having CCTV deters theft? I think not sir.
