US: From CNN: From an estimated 250 to 300 million pieces of luggage, the TSA “has paid almost $39,000 to settle about 485 claims [of lost, stolen or damaged luggage]. About 145 were denied, and 47 were withdrawn. The rest of the complaints — more than 6,000 — are pending.” TSA and the airlines are still determining who was responsible in some cases.
