"Yessir, Mr. Onion!

You checked one bag number 12-34-56, and we delivered it to you at baggage claim.

You say it had $100,000 worth of knives in it when you gave it to us, and now you have discovered they are missing?

Riiiight.... Have you read our Contarct of Carriage and Liability for Lost Luggage (not stolen items contained within, the fine print where it lists things you should not put in checked baggage."

Not saying that they don't have some liability, but they are not going to pay on this one unless some airline employee can be pinned on tape taking the knives.

More likely to be a TSA employee, and I do not know if they tape them at work screening checked luggage.

Doggoned shame, Ken is good people.

Bill, you should never fly with knives of any real value checked unless you declare them and take excess insurance.

As far as shipping goes, well, UPS quit taking handgun shipments for anything but overnight service because they couldn't keep their employees in the regular shipping departments from stealing them, and they tape everybody, all of the time.
