Transportation Security Administration

So Lightgun support (and MAMEoX in general) has hit a small snag: The Transportation Security Administration (www.tsa.gov) has apparently stolen all of my XBOX controllers, my lightgun, all of my CDs and games, and my friend's iPOD. I opened up my luggage to find a "Notification of Baggage Inspection" lying where most of my stuff should've been. It doesn't mention anything about them taking stuff out, just that they carefully rifled through everything.
As it turns out, I have the breakaway part of one of the controllers (the short part cable that goes to the XBOX), so I guess that's not a total fucking loss.
Needless to say, the only thing I can do is fill out a damage claim and watch as I get no money and no equipment back. I'm just lucky that I decided to take the XBOX itself as carry on, otherwise I would've been really screwed.

Thank you US Department of Homeland Security. You've definitely saved my plane from the evils of those dangerous XBOX controllers, DVDs, an electric shaver, an iPod, and a couple thousand dollars worth of software!
