Airlines Use Loopholes To Avoid Paying For Damaged Bags {Gadling}
May 14th 2013 2:13PM I just returned from a trip to Italy and my baggage had the handle ripped off on one side, when I questioned the airlines I was told it wasn't their problem. Worst than that is last year I lost almost 12 of those TSA locks off my bags taken by those TSA agents, the reason I believe that is because they were opened and never put back, when I contacted the TSA about it I was told I would need to fill out some forms and then they would decide if the would pay of those missing locks, what a joke, those are the people who are suppose to be protecting us. !!!!!!
Guaranteed Weather When Traveling? Scientists Think That Might Be Possible {Gadling}
Feb 26th 2013 2:52PM I remember when I was in the 5th grade they showed us a film about " The Weather" and how in the near future they would be able to control it, in places where there was a drought they would be able to fly into the clouds and seed them to produce rain, they also said how they would be able to control the weather so that there would be no hurricanes or other storms. Well sad to say I am now 69 years old and they still can't predict the weather over night. As someone once said being a weather man is the only job where you can made one mistake after another and still keep their jobs.
Not putting my trust in the weather man,

Feb 23rd 2013 1:26PM The only problem I see with this new travel case is that the new iPhone has a smaller sim card then the ones sold and used in Europe or the UK.

What Hotels Have Free Wi-Fi Or Free Wired Internet Access? {Gadling}
Dec 21st 2012 11:23AM I find it amazing that the Hotels who have the highest room rate per night charge their guests for Wi-Fi while the hotels that are priced moderately give their guests free Wi-Fi. Even worse than that is most of the Disney resorts in Orlando say they offer free Wi-Fi to their guest while we have been to almost every one of their resorts I have had a difficult time getting on line. When I call the front desk I have been told someone be up to your room to check on it, no one ever came.
Abusing Wheelchair Privileges To Cheat The Airport Security Line {Gadling}
Oct 8th 2012 2:53PM This abuse of people using any excuse to get on the aircraft by requesting a wheelchair. What I find most irritating is while we have to “stand” in line sometimes for almost 30 min just to go through the screening process by the TSA, somehow those who are “sitting” in a wheelchair are given the privilege of going to the head of the line for screening is a bunch of crap, mind you they are the ones sitting while we are standing waiting to go through, than only to find them boarding the aircraft ahead of everyone else and when they are asked by the flight attendant to remain seated so the others can get off to catch a flight the insist on getting off and strolling at their leisure up the jet way, somehow they are able to walk off the aircraft without any problems., I think the system needs to be revamped by the agency who is giving all these people a reason to abuse the system. I agree that there are those who should have some of those privileges but not all that have them are legitimate.

TSA Officers Fired After Stealing From Passengers {Gadling}
Sep 28th 2012 4:03PM My wife and I fly out of Melbourne airport FL and in the past few years we have at least 5 of those TSA locks on our bags, and every time I had put new one on it was stolen by TSA. The reason I know it was one of them is because there was no note left in my bag to say they had opened to inspect it and that the eye that the locks goes through were not broken, I contacted TSA and reported it to them, at first I would get an e-mail reply asking me to fill out a form with all the details. The last time I had a lock taken from them was about six weeks ago, I sent them another e-mail, got a reply saying that some one would contact me, but that still hasn't happened. If you can't trust them who can you trust??????
