Just returned from an awesome trip to the Biggorn river last night. Woke up this A.M. To unpack the stinky waders and found that one of our four rods were missing from our checked luggage. I am 100% that it was packed but called the outfitter to double check and the Billings Int airport. It was my dads combo. Delta told me that it is TSA's problem and I had to make a claim through them. Has anyone dealt with anything like this? Do you think my dad has a chance of being reimbursed? This is a huge bummer cause he just bought the setup and was the first time he used it.

That is such horseshit! If it was checked baggage it could be either TSA or Delta who took your #censor#. I would call Delta and raise hell! That airline sucks! I have had nothing but problems with them.

I would not ever check rods thru an airport unless absolutely necessary. Mail them to the destination. I would make a claim and like was said earlier raise some cain, the more noise you make the more likely you will get some action, but be civil.

Yeah, not sure why you would blame the TSA for something diappearing out of checked luggage. I would start with the airline. I'm guessing the response will be something like - "prove to us that you had that rod in your luggage when it was checked. How do we know what was in your bag? We don't open them." Never flown with my gear but this sounds like another reason to ship it to your destination.

I always carry my equipment with me so this doesn't happen.
If the TSA checked your bags, they would have put a note in the baggage telling you that they opened your bag and inspected it. That is what the did to my daughter when she flew. I would go after Delta. All these airlines suck for customer service.:( Did you have insurance?

Theyknow what's in every bag that goes through any airport, either they open the bag or scan it with their x-rays or whatever.
