Followed all the instructions accordingly and yet he still managed to make a major dent in the bottom right corner--and denied it ever happening, so I couldn't make a claim on my brand new, $1600 laptop. Thanks, TSA. Dented my Macbook Air on the side when it first came out–TSA didn’t know if it was a real laptop.

I thought nothing of it, and when I got to my hotel, my computer read on the screen that no operatig system was found. All my files, pictures, and important documents gone and all the TSA told me was to fill out a form and they will reemburse me. Hopefully they will.
