Hi Greg: I am not worried about TSA doing the stealing; I am concerned with the airport employees that handle the luggage as there will be no locks on luggage. The individual airline baggage handlers. As I have mentioned, theft is up at BKK airport now that they have discontinued placing the plastic strap around luggage. I agree that the first month is going to be a mess and unfortunately in that respect I am going to LOS in Jan. But, what the Hell, for the rewards when I am there, if a little delay, No Problem! I am a patient man for the delights of LOS! Not the TSA, but the airli

Alan: As I understand it, some of the screening will take place when the luggage is already checked and out side your possession. As far as what you suggest, I have only had one experience at Los Angeles, on Northwest Airlines this summer. When I made my reservation the agent instructed me to check my luggage at curbside check in. I thouhgt this strange but didn't question it. This was a domestic flight in USA. I did as instructed. I was way early as I wanted to check my bag and hit the bar for a drink before they closed at midnite. The curbside agent placed my bag on the luggage r

Greg: All checked luggage at all USA airports after Jan 1, 2003 should not be locked and it is stated that you should use zip ties, garbage bag ties, to secure baggage from opening as if luggage locked inspectors will cut lock and not be held liable. Also, they want you to pack objects in clear containers, medicines, etc. And, to pack shoes at top of suitcase. If your luggage is hand inspected, they will place a note inside so informing you.

Who are you to start with, and what is your prurpose? You started this thread by saying no one responded to your first attempt so what made you think they would respond to this one? And, you get wounded and respond to the first critical remark, "Fuck this and Fuck that!" All I can say is "WOW!"

I just contacted Join Us Travel Agency in San Francisco I first sent e-mail for fare quote, and then called their toll-free number. For those of you that intend to fly from San Francisco or Los Angeles, the deal is on China Airlines and efective dates are January 10, 2003 thru May 31, 2003. Ecomomy fare is $595 all taxes inclusive. They will only take a check as this fare is a $50 discount for cash. I think you can use credit card for higher purchase cost; add on the $50? I flew on China Airlines this past January and found it very user friendly. It cost me more then as I left on Jan 1
