    How is that relevant? These guys were working for contracted company, who probably service several airlines at the airport. That is how that works.

    It's kinda cool that Continental apparently does their own spot checking and put tracers in laptops.....don't you just love it?

    I am very happy that they got caught. Hopefully this makes some of the others out there think twice before stealing. I really have been trying to travel as lightly as I can lately. My last 3 flights I only took my carry on bag. You would be very surprised at how much you can do without bringing on vacation.

    My wife and I are trying to plan our next dive trip. We are not sure where we are going to go, but we were even thinking of renting scuba gear even though we both have more than 2 sets of everything. The only reason is so we don't have to bring so much luggage as we find it a royal pain in the rear end. I have found that most places have really nice rental gear, and if you pick your dive shop carefully you can even get high end technical gear for a small amount more. While I really like using my own gear, it is also a chance for me to try out some new gear without buying it first.

    I ranted about Continental in another thread ... I know this has nothing to do with them, but I thought I would use the opportunity to make another dig ...

    Well, the theft ring in San Juan is STILL IN BUSINESS!!! I just got back from the Digital Shootout in Bonaire, and someone had all of their video gear stolen there. The whole checked case was never found. Bet it's on Ebay by now.
