They cannot tell you where it is most of the time, which is preposterous considering that FedEx can tell you exactly where virtually any package actually IS in their system.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, theft from luggage is rampant, and thereby putting laptops, cameras, jewlerly or other items is virtually akin to sitting them on a curb on a city street with a sign saying "free take one."<BR/><BR/>Add to that, the airlines utter disregard for the plight of their customers when they lose their baggage. Basically, it's "tough luck" and they go to great lengths to avoid taking responsibility.<BR/><BR/>That said, we always travel with a carry-on with clothes, medicine and expensive items we do not want out of our sight. The airlines apparently employee thieves and idiots to throw around luggage, and that said it is only a common sense practice to take small luggage with you.<BR/><BR/>Count on the TSA backing off of this carry-on stuff rather quickly.
