 How about how they have a sign at the customer service counter(where you're 
 supposed to leave your bag(s)) that says, "We are not responsible for items 
 lost or stolen"(!!) Which basically says, "We've given our employees carte 
 blanche to root through your stuff and take anything they like -- it beats 
 giving them real benefits that __WE__ have to pay for!"

 *LOL* Way to stand up for yourself!  That's all that's needed -- not to 
 accept 
 their simplistic(and strictly-self-concerned) version of things, by enough 
 of 
 us, and they'll stop it! 
  
 Considering it's NOT lowering prices at all by having this policy, I fail to 
 see the value in it, except to them, as an experiment in customer 
 maniupulation/control ("how far can we go with these sheeple?")
